  1. Interactive Science Notebooks Presented by Laura Dailey Adapted from Lisa L. Hansen Science Notebook

  2. Agenda • Interactive Notebooks • Why? • How? • Set Up • Right Side / Left Side

  3. What are InteractiveScience Notebooks? • A student thinking tool • And organizer for inquiry question and what has been learned. • A way to access and process the learning utilizing various modalities (writing, drawing, and discussion) • A means for all students to work at their level • A place for writing rough drafts based on hands-on learning • A formative assessment tool for teachers TUSD Science Resource Center

  4. 5 Good Reasons to UseInteractive Science Notebooks 1. Notebooks Are Thinking Tools 2. Notebooks Guide Teacher Instruction 3. Notebooks Enhance Literacy Skills 4. Notebooks Support Differentiated Learning 5. Notebooks Foster Teacher Collaboration Science and Children Nov/Dec 2005, p.28-32

  5. Purpose for Interactive Science Notebooks for Teachers: • To identify evidence of student learning • To identify students’ misconceptions • To collect evidence of student growth over time • To develop next steps for planning and teaching TUSD Science Resource Center

  6. 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.

  7. Additional Helpful Hints • Provide immediate feedback by checking notebooks regularly. • Have occasional open notebook quizzes to inspire great notebooks. • Allow students to make the notebooks their personal space! • Encourage color and allow for differentiated note-taking and assessment completion.

  8. Why are we using science notebooks? • Record data • To study for tests • Record progress • Communicate with others classmates and instructors. Notebooks help us learn!
