Why do we practice writing in Science class?

Scientists communicate with other scientists and the general public through
Scientific Journals and Magazines.  Therefore, it is important for scientists
to be able to express themselves in a clear and concise manner.

Please remember the basic rules for writing:
     - indenting first line
     - punctuation
     - capitals
     - no fragment sentences & no run on sentences
     - spelling (use the dictionaries in the classroom)
