Communicating Scientific Findings

Communicating Scientific Findings Worksheet (Grade 6 Science, TEKS 6.3B)

Show grade 6 students that science is not finished until it is shared. This one-page reading and activity sheet explains why scientists communicate, how they share individually or collaboratively, and which format fits each job.

What's Inside

• A short reading on communicating explanations and solutions, five common formats, and what a clear conclusion includes
• A Key Words note for quick review
• Activity 1: Students match five real jobs to a lab report, graph, labeled diagram, poster, or oral presentation
• Activity 2: Students compare two conclusions for each of two experiments and circle the clearer one
• A visual answer key with answers marked in red

How Teachers Use It

Use it before students write a lab report or prepare a science fair project, or as practice for TEKS 6.3B. The sheet takes about 10 minutes and prints clearly in black and white.

This worksheet is part of the Reading in Science series for grade 6. It supports TEKS 6.3B: communicate explanations and solutions individually and collaboratively in a variety of settings and formats. Pair it with the other TEKS 6.3 sheets to build a short unit on evidence-based explanations and argumentation.

Why It Works

Each sheet teaches the key terms in plain words first, then asks students to use only what the page taught. Activities stay at the circle, sort, match, and write-a-letter level, so students build confidence while the answer key lets teachers check work fast. The clean layout is also easy to project for a whole-class review.
