Presentation transcript:

“The purpose of science notebooks is to build science content and process skills in a manner similar to the way scientists work while serving as a context for developing literacy.”- Brian Campbell & Lori Fulton

By using notebooks, students model one of the most vital and enduring functions of scientists in all disciplines – recording information, figures, and data. By using notebooks, students model one of the most vital and enduring functions of scientists in all disciplines – recording information, figures, and data.

The use of science notebooks: Provides feedback to you regarding the lessons/activities the students are engaging in. A look at student entries provides formative assessment information to help guide your instruction. Provides insights into students’ thinking, misconceptions, and their procedural and conceptual understanding. Supports differentiated instruction, allowing students to work at their own level. Provides evidence of learning. Provides a record of learning and growth over time. Engages students in meaningful, purposeful and authentic tasks. Offers a convenient forum for teachers to provide feedback to students to help them improve their performance or develop deeper understanding.

The use of science notebooks: Provides a thinking tool. Assists in organization. Enhances literacy skills. Helps make sense of their observations and investigations. Provides a place to keep vocabulary words. Replicates how scientists in the field organize and document information and observations. Helps develop writing skills. Increases communication skills. Provides evidence of learning and a record of activities completed. Helps develop understanding of scientific processes.

Marzano’s Nine Instructional Strategies That are Most Likely to Improve Student Achievement 1. Identifying similarities and differences (notebooks) 2. Summarizing and note taking (notebooks) 3. Reinforcing effort and providing recognition (notebooks) 4. Homework and practice (notebooks) 5. Nonlinguistic representations (notebooks) 6. Cooperative learning (notebooks) 7. Setting objectives and providing feedback (notebooks) 8. Generating and testing hypotheses (notebooks) 9. Cues, questions, and advance organizers (notebooks)

Science Lab Components Date: PURPOSE: Objective or lesson topic QUESTION: Teacher or student generated that relates to the purpose PREDICTION/HYPOTHESIS: What you think will happen PROCEDURE: material, steps, data collection OBSERVATION: observe objects or events in a variety of ways using one or more of the senses and identify properties of an object, i.e., shape, color, size, and texture. COMMUNICATING: notes, charts, graphs, drawings, diagrams, tables CONCLUSION: “This is what happened….”, “I noticed….”, “Our group or I found…” You should interpret your data and information. This is also a time to share. LOL (Lines of learning) Record and give details of new information that was learned.

STUDENT: I understand that my Science Notebook is where all my science class work, notes, vocabulary and labs are recorded. My science grade is dependent on the contents of my notebook. I will do my best to keep it organized, neat, and up-to-date. If I am absent, I understand that it is my responsibility to make up any work that I missed. I will make-up my work within three days of my absence.

 Help them scribe  Copy blank data tables and graphs for them to glue in  Pair them up with a stronger student they can copy from  Allow kids to draw and label procedures instead of writing them  Type out purpose, question, materials, and procedure for them

Secretaries take notebooks to them to copy. If you have a smart board, mimeo or PowerPoint Presentation print them out so they can glue or copy them in their notebook
