2. All science notebook entries must include:  Date in the top right-hand corner.  Underlined title in the center of top margin.  Page number in the center of bottom margin.  Activity notes or reflection in the body of the page.  If you run out of space, continue the activity on the next right or left page. Label that page 1R Continued or 1L Continued. Science Notebook Training 09/08/08 1R Science Notebook Training Reflection 09/08/08 1L

3. Science notebook pages are used: Right = Shared Space, includes: class/lecture notes lab activities REAPS questions (as a class) any activity we do together in class Left = Personal Space, includes: warm-ups brainstorming reflection REAPS questions (individually) any activity you do on your own any questions or comments you have during an activity Science Notebook Training 09/08/08 1R Continued 1.What four components must every notebook entry have? 1.What is a right side page used for? 1.What is a left side page used for?

4. Oftentimes, we will work with questions that will help you check how much you’ve learned. There are 5 types of questions: 1.RECALL (aka. Remember): Determines whether you have learned the basic knowledge or facts. 2. EXTEND: Determines whether you can organize basic knowledge (ex. compare, contrast, classify). REAPS Training 09/10/08 2R REAPS Training Reflection 09/10/08 2L Warm-Up: List 3 questions you have always had about Earth Science.

5. 3.ANALYZE: Encourages you to apply or interpret what you have learned (ex. ask questions, design investigations, interpret data) 4.PREDICT: Encourages you to think about what might happen based on observations; engages you in a new topic that builds on what you already know. 5.SELF/PEER ASSES: Encourages you to take responsibility for your own learning; for example, activities that require you to think about your or a partner’s progress.

6. Inquiry: A seeking or request for truth, information, or knowledge by questioning. 5 essential features of science inquiry: 1. Engage in scientifically-oriented questions. Scientifically oriented questions: Always focus on the natural world. Can be investigated scientifically. 2 groups: ‘why’ questions and ‘how’ questions. 2. Give priority to evidence in responding to questions. Evidence: Factual information used to support an explanation. Is observed or measured. Can be detected with one or more of the five senses: seen, heard, smelled, felt, or tasted. Can be observed by many people. Science Inquiry Training 09/11/08 3R Science Inquiry Training Reflection 09/11/08 3L Warm-Up: Explain the difference between a Recall-level question and an Analyze-level question. Reflect: In your own words, describe inquiry. How will we use we use inquiry in our class to learn science?

7. 3. Formulate explanations from evidence. Explanations include: Claim: an answer to the original question. Evidence Reasoning: justification that links the claim and evidence. 4. Connect explanation to scientific knowledge. Scientific knowledge: the set of ideas about and well-proven explanations for the natural world. 5. Communicate and justify explanation. Scientific communication: Makes investigation available to others. Includes journal articles, web sites, books, etc. Science Inquiry Training 09/11/08 3R Continued Science Inquiry Training Reflection 09/11/08 3L Continued
