They read to solve a problem, understand the steps in an experiment, gain base knowledge about a concept, answer their own questions, compare their inquiry results with what others have found, expand their basic understanding of a concept, and for enjoyment. Students in science classrooms also read a variety of text formats. They read books, directions for experiments, newspaper articles, websites, and peer work.
