Just like determining the meaning of unknown words in stories, the same can be done for science and social studies texts. To do this, the student will use the context clues to figure out the meaning of academic terms. Learning to analyze academic terms will help in other subjects as well. In this quiz, the students will identify the definition of the word based on the sentences.
