1. Presented by Denise Tate Portions adopted from Annette Holder & M. Wells Interactive Science Notebooks

2. What are Interactive Science Notebooks?  A student thinking tool  And 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

3. Why Use Interactive Science Notebooks?  Improve organization skills  Improve critical thinking skills  Express understanding creatively

4. Why are we using Interactive Science Notebooks?  Record data  Study for tests  Record progress  Communication

5. 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.
