Skill 3.1 Deciding Quickly if an Article is Useful
Produced by Gatsby Science Enhancement Programme, this activity gives students the opportunity to practise quickly skim-reading a text to assess its usefulness.
A guided activity asks students to quickly browse through a scientific article and extract information such as its title, author and the subject of any illustrations and formulae. Students are then asked to briefly summarise the main subject or idea in the article.
Being able to quickly view and pick out key points of information is important in science and other subject areas. This activity encourages students to develop this skill.
