Tune In Like a Scientist

This worksheet teaches students how to practice active listening by “observing conversations like a scientist.” Learners read short exchanges and answer questions that require them to recall key details, infer emotions, and respond thoughtfully. The focus is on showing understanding, empathy, and engagement rather than simply hearing words. By developing questions and supportive comments, students build stronger listening habits, conversational awareness, and social connection skills.
