Interactive Science Notebooks
Interactive Science Notebooks
Earth Science students will be creating interactive science notebooks using spiral bound, one-subject notebooks. As students progress through the chapters, they will be adding to the notebooks various hands-on activities and notes that they have completed in class to help reinforce the textbook material. These notebooks will be turned in, checked, and graded as a quiz on each test day. This notebook must be kept neat and together all year as all material is needed for semester exams! Pictures have been uploaded below to assist those students who were absent and also to help students finish up small details at home.
