What Should be in my Science Notebook?

We will keep a science notebook using the Smartnote app.  You may not use this notebook for other classes.  You can create a new notebook in Smartnote for your other class needs.

Things in your notebook include:
-Table of Contents with activity titles and page numbers
-Dates for each activity
-Title for each activity
-Scientific words noted (highlight, underline, circle important terms within your projects!)
-Equations, diagrams and generic models
-Personal reflections
-Warmups and notes
-"Aha!" moments, reflections or questions

In the end, your notebook should be a portfolio of your learning throughout the year.  It is a tool for you to record your work and ideas!

 After today's lab...write about the following in your notebook to record your thoughts!

-How has your thinking changed?...about gum, about your hypothesis, about the lab?
-How has your thinking been reinforced?
-Something I never thought of before this lab is....
-Some questions I have are....
-Next time I will....
