9. So…an Interactive Science 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 research notes  A formative assessment tool for teachers TUSD Science Resource Center

10. Why Use Interactive Science Notebooks?  Improve organization skills  Improve critical thinking skills  Express understanding creatively

11. Science Notebook Setup

12. Science Notebook Supplies scissors colored pencils pens & pencils NO MARKERS! Spiral Notebook Or Composition Glue or glue stick

13. Open to the MIDDLE of your Notebook  Make a title page called “Research Notes”  The second half of the notebook is for YOU.  This is where you will take notes on your research topic  Does NOT have to be set up interactive notebook style

14. Right Side? Left Side? What Goes Where? Left Side = Loves Student Output Lots of Color The brain remembers things in color better.  Notes  Concept Maps  Drawings  Reflective Writing  Questions  Data and Graphs  Songs  Poems  Cartoons or cartoon strips Right Side Teacher Input/Content Blue or Black Ink/pencil  Information given in class  Lecture Notes  Video Notes  Summaries  Textbook Notes  Classroom Specific Information

15. “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!

16. 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.

21.  The RIGHT side of the notebook contains information given to you by Mrs. Holder. This is the ESSENTIAL information that I will give you on research skills. Nothing else should go on this side.

22. The DAY’S ACTIVITY is placed on the LEFT side of the notebook. INCLUDES:  BOCA  DAY’S ACTIVITY  May be a graphic organizer, a song, a drawing etc. BOCA: Complete the following: consumer, producer, decomposer Plants, mice, and other mammals are.
