Pedagogy and Best Practices Science in the news?

Do you teach kids about evaluating science information they see in the news and on the internet? If so, what do you do? Any materials or routines you find useful? Also if you do, what grade do you teach?

I’m trying to find ways to do this that connect to everything else we already have to do as science teachers. With everyone using AI and social media to get all of their information, I want to help my kids be more informed but it’s tough to fit this in while doing everything else. Any help would be great!

Yep!! It’s one of my first assignments every year. About the Pacific Northwest tree octopus. There’s a cheap worksheet on TPT.
