Science Notebook
A science notebook is much more than just a notebook. It is a place you record
your experimental data, make notes from your research and discussions, and
write reflections and summaries about what you observe and learn. Your science
notebook is a reflection of what you know and
are able to do in this science course.
It provides a visible, permanent record of your thinking and learning.
Drawings often explain more than words, so throughout your science notebook,
you should have many diagrams, sketches, and drawings. Graphic organizers such
as Venn diagrams and concept maps are used to help organize your thoughts or
material that is being learned.
Y ou are expected to follow these
guidelines and any others presented by your
teacher.

4. All notebook entries begin with the appropriate date.
