A graphic organizer is a strategy to use during reading. Students gain information while reading text, and pick out details and important information to put in the graphic organizer.

NCSCOS – Science
1.05 Analyze evidence to:
- Explain observations.
- Make inferences and predictions.
- Develop the relationship between evidence and explanation.
1.07 Prepare models and/or computer simulations to:
- Test hypotheses.
- Evaluate how data fit.
- Make predictions.
1.08 Use oral and written language to:
- Communicate findings.
- Defend conclusions of scientific investigations.
- Describe strengths and weaknesses of claims, arguments, and/or data
1.10 Analyze and evaluate information from a scientifically literate viewpoint by reading, hearing, and/or viewing:
- Scientific text.
- Articles.
- Events in the popular press.
This strategy will work because as students read, they will be looking for important information to put in their graphic organizers. Therefore, they will be reading carefully to find specific content instead of just reading without retaining.
