. Do you ever predict the day’s weather from your early morning observations?
. Can you remember diagnosing a sick pet, a child,
or a sibling on the basis of the symptoms you
noticed?
. Did you ever vary just one ingredient in a recipe and come up with a new dish?
. Do you ever shop at the supermarket by
arranging your
grocery list according to the aisles in the store?
. Do you keep records of your expenditures
and then sort them according to categories?
Do you have a separate notebook for these
categories?
■ Science is a way
of exploring nature.
■ Science is both
a method and a set of ideas.
■ Science is a subject in which you expect the
unexpected.
Investigate and you will find,
New information
of some kind,
Question all your
observations,
Understand
through your explanations,
Integrate what
you have discovered,
Reflect and share
what you have uncovered.
You are doing
science! (Carol Federico, 2002)
Are assessment and instruction the same?!
YES!
Science notebooks as a thinking tool for students
“It is a record of the student’s reflections,
questions, predictions, and conclusions.”
