  1. Science Notebooks Research-Based Strategies on how to implement them in today's science classroom by Karen Shepherd

  2. How will the things I learned influence my practice? • Confirms for me that my present science notebook ideas is an effective assessment tool, researched based, and since it is such an effective tool I will enhance the features. • I know that it is crucial to design effective formative assessment that allows the students opportunities to experiment and formulate explanations for their findings.   • Redesign my lessons so that the students can create, analyze their data, and form conclusions following their experimentations. • I know how to use the notebooks to make meaning and help the students develop a deeper understanding of science content from my instructions. • This information will encourage me to teach my students in a way where they will to be able to meet the standards; to teach them how to make predictions, think critically and logically, communication their scientific findings in written and verbal forms, and make explanations of the world unknown.

  3. How will I apply new knowledge to teaching? • Enhance my current method of science notebook use. • Include the seven key components in every investigation; prose the question or problem, predictions, develop a plan, using observations create, data, charts, graphs, drawings or illustrations, make claims and evidence, draw conclusion, and write reflections. • Make a rubric to include in journals prior to unit. • Incorporate a glossary of terms in the back. • Write constructive, effective, feedback comments that is appropriate evaluations of the student’s work. • Use the book as guide to remind me of the correct format and strategies to using a science notebook.

  4. What actions will I take in my schools and beyond? • Provide other teachers with professional development opportunities to learn. • Share samples of old journals from my classroom. • Write a grant to include journals for all of the students in 3rd – 8th grade in the building. • Provide a professional development course for Science Notebooks.
