17. Science Notebook SCIENCE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK (AKA: the INB) “Your Key To Success in Science” = Presented by Jerry Willard

18. Have you ever heard yourself say?... I can't find my notes, quiz, homework... I was absent last week, did I miss anything? It's in my locker, my bookbag, my room... somewhere...?

19. Science Notebook Your INB is the ANSWER!!!

20. Science Notebook What is an INB? • The purpose of your interactive notebook (INB) is to collect, record, and organize your science information in a creative way, all while creating a PERSONALIZED DIARY of your science learning. • This notebook is designed to use both your right and left-brain hemispheres to help you SORT, CATEGORIZE, REMEMBER, and creatively interact with the new knowledge you are gaining. • Your INB will also serve as a great tool to help you stay ORGANIZED. • The best part is that it gives you permission to be playful and CREATIVE in your responses without "messing up" your notes. • Allows you be like a REAL SCIENTIST!

21. Real Scientists Use Notebooks!

22. Charles Darwin: developed the theory of evolution

23. Leonardo DaVinci: artist and inventor

24. Albert Michelson: physicist
