The document provides guidelines for using an interactive science notebook (INB) in the classroom. It explains that the INB will:
1. Improve students' understanding of science concepts by using writing as a tool for discovery and organizing ideas.
2. Model the processes that scientists use to record information and data.
3. Serve as a study reference and resource for reviewing concepts.
The INB turns student notebooks into meaningful records of learning by having them record notes on the right page and reflections on the left page. It develops skills like organization, critical thinking, and creative expression of understanding.
28. Why use graphic organizers? Organizers are a way to encourage students to think about information. With graphic organizers, you remove the words and focus on the connections.
