Engineering & Science Practices reading comprehension activities through Wayground (formerly Quizizz) provide students with engaging text-based learning experiences that develop critical scientific thinking skills. These carefully crafted reading passages present real-world engineering challenges, scientific investigations, and research methodologies, accompanied by thought-provoking questions that require students to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize information. The activities focus on building essential competencies such as asking questions, developing and using models, planning investigations, analyzing data, constructing explanations, engaging in argument from evidence, and obtaining information from scientific texts. Students strengthen their ability to extract meaning from technical writing, interpret scientific diagrams and data representations, and apply critical thinking skills to evaluate scientific claims and evidence. Wayground's extensive library contains millions of teacher-created Engineering & Science Practices reading comprehension resources that support educators in delivering comprehensive science instruction aligned with national standards. The platform's robust search and filtering capabilities enable teachers to quickly locate materials that match specific learning objectives, reading levels, and curriculum requirements. Advanced customization tools allow educators to modify passages and questions to accommodate diverse learning needs, creating differentiated experiences for struggling readers and advanced learners alike. These digital-first resources integrate seamlessly into classroom instruction, supporting teachers in planning targeted lessons, providing remediation for students who need additional practice with scientific text analysis, and offering enrichment opportunities that deepen understanding of how scientists and engineers approach problem-solving through systematic investigation and evidence-based reasoning.
