INTERACTIVE SCIENCE NOTEBOOK
You will be using the composition book as the Interactive Science Notebooks (ISN) in your Science Class this year. The purpose of the Interactive Notebook is to enable you to be a creative and independent thinker and writer. The notebook will be used for class notes as well as for other activities where you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class.
The Interactive Notebook is divided into two sections, The LEFT side of the notebook is for student work, thoughts, drawings, brainstorms, etc. it should have color. The RIGHT side of the notebook is teacher directed guided notes.
ISNs will be checked periodically for completeness, accuracy, and neatness. Points will be earned on those qualities. An important part of your notebook is its visual appearance. Your notebook is a reflection of you and your learning. It needs to be neat and well organized. Your artistic touch should be visible on the covers of the book. Keep in mind that your notebook will count as a major grade each and every time it is collected.
Don't worry, you won't be in this alone. I will also have an interactive notebook, so anything you do, I do too. My notebook gets graded just like yours. See the table of content above to download any missing handouts and make sure you are up to date.
BASIC EXPECTATIONS of the INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK
1. Bring Interactive Notebook (composition book) every day to class.
2. Pages must be numbered correctly: Odd #’s on RIGHT, Even #’s on LEFT
3. Table of Contents should be current at all times. 45. Students cannot tear out any page from their ISN.
4. Students must make up all assignments due to absence.
5. Notebook organization will be factored in your lab grade.
6. If you lose your notebook or it gets stolen, that does NOT excuse you from turning in the assignments.
