What are InteractiveScience Notebooks?
The purpose of the Interactive Student Notebook
is to enable you to be a creative, independent thinker and writer. Interactive science notebooks (AKA: ISN) will be used for class notes as well as for other activities in which you will be asked to express your own ideas and process the information presented in class.
A interactive notebook (INB) your own personalized DIARY of learning about science
A portfolio of your work in ONE convenient spot. This is great for studying for upcoming quizzes & test
A great ORGANIZATIONAL tool that gives you permission to be PLAYFUL AND CREATIVE in your responses without "messing up" your notes.
Allows you to be like a REAL SCIENTIST!

ISN Rules
If you run out of room on a page, continue your writing on a separate sheet of notebook paper or blank white printer paper and glue it to the bottom of the notebook page (to extend the page further). This extension can be folded up and into the notebook so that it doesn't hang out. Students many NEVER just continue onto another page in their notebooks. This will cause them to be "off" from the rest of the class
