Interactive Science Notebooks“ People don’t learn from their experiences;
they learn from processing their experiences.” - Bob Garmston
- This is the reflection part of the notebook
“…a science notebook becomes a central place where language, data, and experience
operate jointly to form meaning for all students.”
- M. Klentschy, 2008- This is the portfolio part of the notebook and
works as a real life assessment
What are interactive science notebooks?
Science notebooks are a place where you record your reflections, questions, predictions, evidence, and conclusions. These notebooks are not only a direct measurement of your understanding but also a means of assessment—This is a test grade

Da Vinci’s Science Notebook
Interactive Science Notebooks are Thinking Tools:Observations within scienceInteractions at a deeper level
Peer to peer Teacher
You tell how and what you have learned with examples, mind maps, color, reflections, pictures, drawings, and research into the topics.
Increase in test and quiz scores
Interactive Science Notebooks show me where you are lacking mastery: The use of science notebooks gives me ways to guide and change your instruction through your response. Example: Frogs
If you do not have a response that shows your thinking on the topic then it makes it difficult to help you.
Thinking means more than a sentence saying “I learned” with nothing to support it. Build on your thinking with examples, further research, drawings, news articles etc…..
Interactive Science Notebooks allow me to tie curriculum areas together: Through the use of notebooks, I am able to use literacy, history, mathematics, and science within a scientific context. You can show overall mastery
Interactive Science Notebooks allow for lesson differentiation
You can show your learning by building your skills and abilitiesDrastically different ability levelsDifferentiation throughout the materials
Each of you has a way of showing what and how you learn.
Creates collaborative opportunitiesInteractive Science Notebooks give you tangible
ways to share your ideas with your peers by showing a similar piece of your work.A great way to get a better notebook is to have someone review and give feedback
Summary:Interactive Science Notebooks are
beneficial because: Thinking tools---Your many ways to show
what and how you are learningShow gaps in what is learned for the
individual and groupsTie curriculum areas together: WICOR
Writing, Inquiry, Collaboration, Organization, and Reading to Learn.
Allow for differentiation Create collaborative opportunities

build both literacy and science skills by writing and reflecting on new material.

How can Cornell notes help me organize my ideas? Which side for diagrams? Why use concept maps? What are the benefits to me?
Can be used to provide an outline of chapter or lecture. Organized by main ideas and details. Can be as detailed as necessary. Sequential-- take notes as they are given by instructor or text in an orderly fashion. After class, write a summary of what you learned to clarify and reinforce learning and to assist retention. Can be used as study tool: 1. Define terms or explain concepts listed on left side. 2. Identify the concept or term on the right side. Can be used to provide a "big picture" of the chapter orlecture. Organized by main ideas and sub-topics Limited in how much detail you can represent. Simultaneous - you can use this method for instructors who jump around from topic to topic. After class, you can add questions to the left side Can be used as a study tool -- to get a quick overview and to determine whether you need more information or need to concentrate your study on specific topics.
The Cornell Note-taking System
Notes: Matter 9/15/09
Anything that has mass & volume
Made of tiny particles that are constantly moving.
Four states
1. Solid- closely packed particles that barely move – definite shape & volume (ex.) ice
2. Liquid- flows readily because particles are spaced farther apart thus reducing the attractive force between particles – definite volume takes shape of container (ex) water
Right side
What is matter?
Name & describe the states of matter
Summary: matter has mass & vol. constantly moving particles; comes in four states.
•Title date and page number
•Divide page in fourths
• 3/4 for notes in outline form
•1/4 for question about notes
•Summary that summarizes that page of notes
2
Summary: Right SideAfter class, use the space at the bottom of each page to summarize the notes on that page.
Notebooks help us learn!
•Summarize every page. •Summary added AFTER questions are finished•Summary answers the problem or essential question, or objective
•As soon after class as possible, formulate questions based on the notes in the right-hand column.
•Write the questions in color. (each question in a different color)
• Each color corresponds to an answer
•Writing questions helps to clarify meanings, reveal relationships, establish continuity, and strengthen memory.
•Also, the writing of questions sets up a perfect stage for exam-studying later.
Questions for the Cornell Notes column
Thinking about what YOU are learningLeft Side: Expand on your summary.
REFLECTION: Use Guiding Prompts: ONLINEWhat are you curious about?What would you like to test?What was the main idea?What are the important details to remember?How does this relate to your life?What don’t you understand?Use Research into the topic of the weekUse News items you can annotateUse a mind mapParaphrase and Summarize
Left Side: Student Output
In this example, I chose to do a concept map of the states of matter.
You might choose to do something else.
Sometimes you will be asked to answer questions in this space.

What do you have to do to achieve mastery?
1. Objectives: turn them into questions and
answer them.
2. Standards and Indicators: Did you show
the mastery? How did you do this?
3. Essential questions: Did you answer
them?

Self-ReflectionSelf-ReflectionAt the end of each days science activity summarize and reflect (left page) on how and what you learned
A way to give teachers critical feedback
What goes into your Reflective Paragraphs
Indicate your overall rating of your notebook based on the 6, 5, 4, 3, 2,1 rubric.What do you think this notebook deserves on an A‑F scale?
Include several sentences on WHY, using specific details, you've chosen this rating.
And, AndPut in How and what you have learned
Reflective ParagraphsUsing sentences and specifics, respond to the
following: What information was new to you? Did the notebook help you this term? What would improve the notebook ? What are your goals for your next unit?
What improvements or areas to change would you like to see in class?
Example: Self Reflection
In this unit, I learned that the reason things freeze and thaw is because they lose and gain energy to their environments. This causes the particles that make them up to spread out.
Continue this to cover the day’s activity.
