Respond to a Quote: Science Reflections

Invite students to think deeply while honing their writing skills with this science-themed writing prompt! In this one-page writing exercise, students are asked to read two quotes about science and choose one of them to respond to. Using the given prompts to guide their responses, young writers will reflect on what the author of their chosen quote meant and whether they agree or disagree. Then, they’ll provide an example of a situation that relates to the quote's message.

This worksheet is a great way to invite students to explore the importance of making mistakes and asking questions. Ideal for middle school learners, this engaging writing worksheet can be used at the beginning of the year to get to know your students, or at any point in the year as an on-demand writing prompt.
