Term Fix Lab

Students examine a series of professional statements, each containing a misused technical term. Their task is to identify the incorrect term and replace it with one that fits the scientific or technical context accurately. This activity reinforces students’ understanding of domain-specific vocabulary while teaching them to spot misuse in real-world writing. It also strengthens critical thinking by requiring them to correct-not just recognize-technical errors.
