What are Interactive Science Notebooks? The purpose of the Interactive Student Notebook  is to enable you to be a creative, independent thinker and writer. Interactive science notebooks (AKA: ISN) will be used for class notes as well as for other activities in which you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class.

What is An Interactive Notebook A interactive notebook (INB) your own personalized DIARY of learning about science A portfolio of your work in ONE convenient spot. This is great for studying for upcoming quizzes & test A great ORGANIZATIONAL tool that gives you permission to be PLAYFUL AND CREATIVE in your responses without "messing up" your notes.

Getting started - Step 1: Cover Science Notebook My Name Teacher’s Name The name of the course and quarter: 7th Grade Life Science / 1st Quarter The words: Interactive Science Notebook The class period that you have science: Period 1, for example The school year: 2016 – 2017 Your teacher: Miss Stanley Your name: (self explanatory) TWO OR MORE SCIENCE PICTURES: You can draw, get from magazine or Internet.

At the top of the first three ½ pages, write “Table of Contents” Step 3: Table of Contents At the top of the first three ½ pages, write “Table of Contents” Table of Contents

Table of Contents DATE DESCRIPTION PAGE # Use a ruler to draw the lines straight!

Step 4: Starting with the next page, number the rest of the pages. Numbers should be small and at the top outside corner of the left page. 1 2

ISN Rules No RIPPED OUT pages or torn corners No DOODLING that doesn’t relate to science Notebook should be used for SCIENCE CLASS ONLY DATE AND NUMBER each page on right side All entries must go into the Table of Contents BE COLORFUL & LOVE YOUR NOTEBOOK

ISN Rules If you run out of room on a page, continue your writing on a separate sheet of notebook paper or blank white printer paper and glue it to the bottom of the notebook page (to extend the page further).  This extension can be folded up and into the notebook so that it doesn't hang out.  Students many NEVER just continue onto another page in their notebooks.  This will cause them to be "off" from the rest of the class
