You will not tear out any pages.

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 rough drafts based on hands- on learning  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. Why are we using Interactive Science Notebooks?  Record data  Study for tests  Record progress  Communication

12. 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.

13. Science Notebook Setup

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

15. Right Side? Left Side? What Goes Where? (Tool Sheet) Left Side = Loves Student Output Lots of Color The brain remembers things in color better.  BOCA=beginning of class assignment  Concept Maps  Drawings  Reflective Writing  Questions  Data and Graphs  Songs  Poems  Data from Experiments  Cartoons or cartoon strips Right Side Teacher Input/Content Blue or Black Ink/pencil  Information given in class  Lecture Notes  Lab Activities  Video Notes  Summaries  Textbook Notes  Procedures for experiments  Classroom Specific Information

16. “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!

17. 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.
