Science Notebooks can be used as an assessment tool for teachers for subjects besides science.

  3. Science Notebooks = Science Journals • False • Science Notebooks focus on the more structured method and science process skills • Science Journals emphasize free form of writing that can express feelings

  4. Investigable Questions • True • Investigable questions involve students manipulating materials to find the answer • Example: What will gobstoppers do when placed in water?

  5. Teachers can write on students’ notebooks • False • Important to remember that notebook belongs to the student – it is a personal document • Post-its are a great tool to use instead • Make sure focus of assessment is on acquiring knowledge related to students’ level of understanding

  9. Science Notebooks - 2 • Use of investigable questions • Reword some questions to make them investigable • Start as a group process • Assessment • Acquire knowledge • Foster independence in design and execution • Use rubrics • Use sticky notes

  10. Science Notebooks – Key Steps • 1. Write name, date, and time – just like real scientists • 2. Write the question (s) • 3. Make prediction (s) • 4. List what we did – procedures – step-by –step - then include detailed drawings with labels • 5. List “Line of Learning” (LOL)
