How to read a Science Article
Science Articles are not epic adventures or fantasy stories. They are informative documents to convey information, procedures, findings, future aspects, and science opinion. Thus Science Articles do not need to be read from start to finish like "normal". Below is a good strategy for reading science articles.
1) Read the Title and First Introductory Paragraph .
2) Look at the pictures and Captions
3) Read the last concluding paragraph
As you do this, highlight/write down any key words, quotes, main ideas or questions that you generate. Now you should have a general idea of what the article is about, what they hope to accomplish in the article and thus when you read the article, you will have a better idea of what is going on.
4) Read the article. Stop reading at the end of each section to make note of or highlight main ideas, vocabulary, facts that come up.
