Put your Table of Contents in the front of the binder. Your chemistry notebook should contain your Cornell Notes, Lab Reports, Worksheets, Reference Materials, returned graded assessments, and other paperwork we decide is necessary to keep.

Setting up a Science Notebook It will be extremely helpful to have your chemistry binder separated by tabs as follows: Tab 1 – Cornell Notes Tab 2 – Lab Reports Tab 3 – Worksheets Tab 4 – Reference Materials Tab 5 - Assessments

Setting up a Science Notebook Use Mr. C’s notebook as an example if you need to.
