Lab Data

The day’s activity is placed on the LEFT or OUTPUT side of the notebook. This section acts as a reinforcement and processing for the RIGHT or LEARNING side.

The RIGHT SIDE comes from me and should only contain information given or “input” from Mr. Giacobbe. Nothing else should be placed on this page! The RIGHT SIDE will contain all the TESTABLE material.

The RIGHT side of the notebook contains information given to you by me. This is the ESSENTIAL information that will DEFINITELY, TOTALLY, ABSOLUTELY be on a quiz or test. Nothing else should go on this side.
