YOU ARE A SCIENTIST!

•You will use your notebook daily.

•You will record all your thoughts, observations, and notes.

•You will keep all papers in your notebook.

•You will turn your notebooks in at the end of each chapter/unit.

HOW WILL THIS HAPPEN?!

•You will put the date and page number on each page daily!

•When needed, you will use two drops of glue, a piece of tape, or a smudge of glue from a glue stick to place papers in your notebook.

•You will not tear out any pages.

So…an InteractiveScience Notebook is….

A student thinking tool An organizer for inquiry questions and what I

learned… A way to access and process the learning

utilizing various modalities (writing, drawing, and discussion)

A place for writing rough drafts based on hands-on learning

A formative assessment tool for teachers

Why Use Interactive Science Notebooks?

Improve organization skills Improve critical thinking skills Express understanding creatively

Why are we using Interactive Science Notebooks?

Record data Study for tests Record progress Communication

Impact of Hands-on Science & Science Notebooks on Student Achievement

Research shows that student understanding and literacy skills improve when students do hands-on minds-on science and use science notebooks to make sense of their science investigations.

“A Bit More On The Left”Getting Students to Think About Their Learning

REFLECTION: Use Guiding Prompts:What are you curious about?What would you like to test?What was the main idea?What are the important details to remember?How does this relate to your life?What don’t you understand?

Even More coming up!

Getting started -Step 1:

My Name

My Grade

On the cover, write your name and period #. Draw a diagram of something that reminds you of physical science.

Step 2: Starting with the first page, number the first 50 pages.

Numbers should be small and at the top outside corner of every page.

Step 4:

•What are you curious about?•What would you like to test?•What was the main idea?•What are the important details to remember?•How does this relate to your life?•What don’t you understand?

Add the following reflection questions on page 1. You will use these as open response questions. When you can’t think of something else to do for your left side entry, use one of these. Remember open response means a paragraph and a paragraph has multiple sentences.

The RIGHT side of the notebook contains information given to you by Mrs. Holder. This is the ESSENTIAL information that will DEFINITELY be on a quiz or test. Nothing else should go on this side.

The DAY’S ACTIVITY is placed on the LEFT side of the notebook.

INCLUDES:

BOCA

DAY’S ACTIVITY

Graphic Organizers

•There are 10 graphic organizers posted on the wall above the board.

•At times you will be allowed to choose one or I will direct you which to use.

•These are all acceptable.
