  1. Interactive Science Notebooks

  2. Interactive Science Notebook (ISN)—Quick Review

  3. Essential Question: • What is an interactive science notebook? • What are the benefits of interactive science notebooking? • What does interactive science notebooking look like in the classroom?

  4. Goals for today: Set goals for ISN Set school-wide expectations for ISN Develop rubrics for assessing ISN Create unit plan for using ISN

  5. What is an interactive notebook? An interactive notebook is: • A student thinking tool • An organizer for inquiry and content that is learned • A way to access and process learning using various modalities (writing, drawing, discussion • A means for all students to work at their level (Special Ed, ESOL, GT) • A place for writing rough drafts based on hands-on learning • A formative assessment tool for teachers

  6. Reminder: = Consistency

  7. Activity #1: Vertical Articulation Regarding Goals and Expectations (15 minutes) Group in the following grade-level bands: K – 1st 2nd – 3rd 4th – 5th As a collaborative group, decide the following regarding interactive science notebooks: a. Goals for ISN Examples: Increase Science PASS scores Improve student writing in science Increase student understanding of content-specific vocabulary Integrate Science and Engineering Practices (SEPs) b. Expectations for ISN Examples: Students write daily Vocabulary (Incorporated in unit pages? Glossary?) Informing parents and the community 3. Write on flipchart paper and display

  8. Classroom Snapshot • The notebook should be open at all times: during a lab, while researching, reading or using the textbook, while engaged in class discussion, while reflecting • The notebook should be filled with writing –from beginning to end • The notebook should be filled with text features—highlighting, colors, graphics, illustrations, doodles, headings, titles • Writing should demonstrate growth in showing understanding and an increasing depth of self-awareness of learning by the student

  9. Activity #2: Vertical Articulation Regarding Assessing the ISN (30 minutes) • Remain in your assigned groups • Discuss: How will we assess ISN? (Minor grade(s)? Major grade?) • Assessing input pages vs. output pages? • Rubric for assessment? Develop a rubric to assess ISN

  10. Interactive Notebook Rubric EXAMPLE Content: 1-10 ____ All content is represented in notes ____ All content is represented with student creation ____ Vocabulary words are defined and illustrated _____ Questions are complete and answers are provided Organization 1-5 ____ All pages are numbered _____ Unit page is complete _____ Table of Contents reflect unit additions Overall Quality 1-5 Creativity ______ Quality: ______ Do I Grade the notebook? Students need to be clear about expectations and grading prior to beginning a notebook. Daily grade? Major grade?

  11. Activity #3: Vertical Articulation Regarding Organization of the ISN (15 minutes) Remain in your assigned groups Discuss: Organization of ISN Input side vs. output side Numbering of pages Table of Contents (TOC) Teacher-facilitated input Student-created output 3. Add to flipchart

  12. Content Layout Students process and create to develop an understanding of the right hand side notes Teacher directed visually organized notes.

  13. Content Layout

  14. Table of Contents

  15. Title Page: course title Components Table of Contents: units, indicators, page numbers Unit Title Pages Vocabulary Pages Indicator or EQ Pages Unit Wrap-up Questions (optional) Organization is vital! Glossary: Recursive Vocabulary

  16. Notebook Entries K – 2nd • Dictated observations • Single words to simple sentences • Summaries in 1st and 2nd • Labeled drawings • Content-specific words • Look for evidence of growth: • continuum

  17. Expectations for Notebook Entries 3rd – 5th • Multiple sentences to paragraphs • Detailed records and observations • Organized data in tables, charts, graphs • Conclusions supported by evidence • Varied language entries • Self-reflections and assessments included • Look for evidence of growth: • continuum

  18. Gallery Walk (5 minutes) View another group’s work as assigned: K – 1st review 2nd – 3rd 2nd – 3rd review 4th – 5th 4th – 5th review K – 1st Look for articulation from one grade band to the next. Add comments as needed.

  19. Planning a Grade-level ISN Unit (45 minutes) Determine the unit (Access curriculum maps) Develop the unit focus (Big Understanding) and driving question (Essential Question) Use a backward design model to plan how the ISN will be used Complete the planning sheet with your team
