What is an Interactive Science Notebook? An interactive science notebook (ISN) is your own personalized SCIENCE BOOK. A portfolio of your learning and a great resource for STUDYING for quizzes and tests. A great ORGANIZATIONAL tool that gives you permission to be COLORFUL and CREATIVE to show me what you know or have learned. Allows you to be like a REAL SCIENTIST by asking QUESTIONS, RECORDING what you observe, and SHARING it with your classmates!
