Science Notebook
A science notebook is much more than just a regular notebook. It is a place where
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. Throughout your science notebook, you
should have many diagrams, sketches, and drawings. Graphic organizers such as
Venn diagrams and concept maps help organize your thoughts or material that is
being learned.
