Science Notebooks -
The purpose of science notebooks is to help students build science content and process skills in a way similar to the way scientists work. What a great way to incorporate oral and written language arts lessons. This is a way that you can teach nonfiction reading / writing through the lens of science.
Science notebooks are an excellent component to add to kit based programs as a means for students to actively take part in being a scientist.
Students who value these don't want to let them go. They take them on to the next year of science as a reference guide. What a great way to document concepts learned and hopefully misconceptions clarified. The amount of student growth in writing / technical drawing, and process skills over the course of a year is phenomenal.
