Abstract

In this chapter, the author outlines cross-curricular lessons that have been developed using commonly taught pieces of “classic” literature to facilitate student connections in science. The lessons attempt to use the literature as a basis for building activities that allow students to practice and review scientific concepts in biology and chemistry. The chapter includes strategies for implementation such as finding appropriate literature, facilitating work with other teachers, and building connections to increase student outcomes. This chapter begins with a discussion of basic scientific method and its relationship to literary analysis. The activities that follow demonstrate some specific methods that practitioners can immediately apply in their classrooms.
