Comics in the Science Classroom

Why Comics?

Comics can be a useful tool in a science classroom because they incorporate visual learning into the curriculum.

There are many ways to incorporate comics into a lesson plan. It all depends on the subject and the goals of the lesson. For example, comics can be used to introduce new concepts and vocabulary.

By using comics as a teaching tool, educators can help learners develop a deeper understanding of the material. On top of that, they make the learning process more enjoyable and engaging.

When using comics to help struggling readers, it is important to choose materials that are age-appropriate and relevant to the learners’ experiences and interests.

Where to Find Them

Grab the attention of all of your students and try incorporating comics into your science classroom today. Many of my comics are posted in the shop section of this site. I also sell comics on Teachers Pay Teachers. However, the price is slightly higher on this site. Check out my YouTube page to find engaging videos (more are being added all the time).
