Abstract
The vocabulary demands of secondary science classrooms has been well documented. As the language of science is complex and specific to the content area or the particular discipline, instruction on science vocabulary must take place. Vocabulary instruction can be categorized as explicit or embedded instruction based on the goal and methods being utilized. In order to determine which vocabulary instruction to apply, rich vocabulary assessments must be developed to understand student vocabulary needs. The following capstone project represents a revised curriculum for a NYS Regents Earth Science course taught to an integrated co-taught 9th and 10th grade class. The curriculum was revised with explicit vocabulary instruction activities, modified learning activities through a vocabulary lens, target vocabulary lists, and vocabulary assessments.
