10. Notebooking

11. Interactive Science Notebooks are a Research-Based Best Practice 1. Notebooks are thinking tools for students. 2. Notebooks help guide instruction 3. Notebooks enhance literacy skills 4. Notebooks support differentiated learning. 5. Notebook entries are good assessment tools.

12. Getting started - Step 1: Name Grade On the cover: Write your name and grade.

14. Step 3: At the top of the next four pages write Table of Contents

15. DATE ACTIVITY ( Assessment) PAGE #

16. Step 3: Create a Learning Partners page. 1 Learning Partners.

21. What goes into a science notebook? A record of your thinking & learning Notes Procedures and data Line of Learning Quick writes Performance Assessments Questions, wonderings, ideas

22. Example of what should be in your science notebook… The blue center and yellow petals of this flower attract bees and hummingbirds. The flower can be cross-pollinated and the bees and hummingbirds can have food. November 14, 2006

23. Example of what should be in your science notebook… November 14, 2006 Observations: We added salt to ice water. The ice started to melt and the temperature of the ice water went down … it got colder. Questions: Is salty ice water always colder than plain ice water? Could we add something else to ice water to make it colder?

24. What shouldnt I put in my science notebook? If the entry isnt related to your growing understanding of science, it probably doesnt belong in your science notebook.

25. Examples of what shouldnt be in your science notebook… I love … Go HAWKS!!! Science Rocks!! Non-science doodles

26. SCIENTISTS NOTEBOOKS The following slides show pages from scientists notebooks:

29. A page from Leonardo da Vincis Notebook

30. Notebook Hints: Type quick write prompts on address labels. Reusable arrows can mark notebooks for grading. Have students answer quick writes on index cards (make sure they put their names on top) so you can grade them without having to take books home. They can tape them into their notebooks the next day. Use post-its to make comments in student books Use colored dots on covers to help keep different classes separated or to identify student roles.
