14. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 Create YOUR Journal  You’ll need access to glue sticks, scissors, and maps pencils and a Composition Notebook.  Don’t be afraid to make it your own. IT IS YOUR Work and it represents you the student scientist.  Be Creative! Make it personal!

15. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 Why composition books?? They are different from spirals (kids perceive spirals as ordinary and disposable). The paper is sturdy and kids are less likely to rip out pages. It is a BOOK! No wires to get tangled when you stack them. Wal-mart/Target-97¢ (school supply season 2/$1.00))

16. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 An easy “how to” guide for student journaling How to start How to teach technical drawing How to monitor journaling growth Buy on-line at www.nsta.org or other bookstores www.nsta.org by Campbell & Fulton ISBN 0-325-00568-0

18. ESC 12/Power Point/September 2007/Core/Rev.7 Guidelines to help you make your journal are placed inside the front cover

19. ESC 12/Power Point/September 2007/Core/Rev.7 Decide how you will number and use the pages If you decide to number fronts only you will have space on the back facing page to return to an entry to add additional information when needed. Number pages in a consistent location. Number 25 pages to start. Record your entries on your Table of Contents as you fill pages.

20. Make the 5 pages after the title page a Table of Contents (like a book) Make columns for: EntryPage This helps you find an entry fast when you need it

21. ESC 12/Power Point/September 2007/Core/Rev.7 On Page 1 Title – “Journaling” Draw and complete this Thinking Diagram Journaling Student Parent Teacher

22. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 Add Edison! Cut out the journal page from Edison’s work and glue it to page 2. Title this page- The “Idea” Example

30. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 Create a Table Make two columns (in journal) – Elementary use living and nonliving Secondary use biotic and abiotic Discuss the resources that are necessary for life to continue. Decide which are living (biotic) and which are non-living (abiotic). Did you give your table a “title”?

31. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 “What Do I NEED?, asked the Isopod. Observe the ecosystem at your table and use it, plus your lists, and any other prior knowledge of ecosystems to fill up your terrarium. 7 1/2 minutes

40. They All Should Be Committed! Making a prediction is ESSENTIAL to student success!

41. The Parts of an Experiment Title Problem Hypothesis Materials Procedures Data Analysis/Conclusions

42. Like Lightning We (the children) recalled that Great Aunt Clara was taking her afternoon nap when she was startled awake by the clashing of lightning and thunder. Uncle Clyde tried to explain why lightning happens, but he needs help. Use the supplies to help him explain the cause………..

43. “Like Lightning” State the Problem in a sentence Make your Hypothesis Record the materials you use State the procedures you used to conduct this investigation Record data Create a short report for Uncle Clyde and Aunt Clara.

44. Notes What is Static Electricity? Everything we see is made up of tiny little parts called atoms. The atoms are made of even smaller parts. These are called protons, electrons and neutrons. They are very different from each other in many ways. One way they are different is their "charge." Protons have a positive (+) charge. Electrons have a negative (-) charge. Neutrons have no charge.

45. Notes Usually, atoms have the same number of electrons and protons. Then the atom has no charge, it is "neutral." But if you rub things together, electrons can move from one atom to another. Some atoms get extra electrons. They have a negative charge. Other atoms lose electrons. They have a positive charge. When charges are separated like this, it is called static electricity.

46. Notes If two things have different charges, they attract, or pull towards each other. If two things have the same charge, they repel, or push away from each other.

47. Vocabulary Tape the baggie into your journal so that it can still open Cut your cards apart Store them in baggie

48. Grading What When Who How

49. ESC 12/Power Point/June 2006/Core/Rev.3 Things to remember: Having a sample journal to show as a visual when you introduce journals is important. If students record in a way that has meaning for them, they feel more “ownership” of their journal. Journals become a useful reference in student discussions, reviewing, studying, etc. Journals show evidence of student learning over time.
