Learning and instruction strategies and their implementation in Science in Our Lives

Strategy	Implementation in Science in Our Lives
Active retrieval	Weekly reflection cards, where students reflected on their learning and made connections to their day-to-day lives.
Distributed practice	Crosscutting concepts (e.g., acidity) were distributed across the semester and revisited in different contexts.
Dual coding	Integrating pictures and text in snaplogs; creating comics (Figure 1).
Concrete examples	Thinking about abstract concepts using real-world objects (Figure 2).
Feedback and assessment	Self-, peer- and coassessment, with students revising their work based on feedback.
