SCIENCE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK(AKA: the INB)

“Your Key To Success in Science”

=Presented byJerry Willard

Have you ever heard yourself say?...

Your INB is the ANSWER!!!

What is an INB?The purpose of your interactive notebook (INB) is

to collect, record, and organize your science information in a creative way, all while creating a PERSONALIZED DIARY of your science learning.

This notebook is designed to use both your right and left-brain hemispheres to help you SORT, CATEGORIZE, REMEMBER, and creatively interact with the new knowledge you are gaining.

Your INB will also serve as a great tool to help you stay ORGANIZED.

The best part is that it gives you permission to be playful and CREATIVE in your responses without "messing up" your notes.

Allows you be like a REAL SCIENTIST!

Real Scientists Use Notebooks!

Charles Darwin: developed the theory

of evolution

Leonardo DaVinci: artist and inventor

Albert Michelson: physicist

Author PageYou will create your author’s page on the inside of the front cover

of your INB. It should be neat and creative!

1. Choose one word from the IB Learner Profile Pillar that describes you.

2. Choose two more words from the IB Learner Profile Pillar that describe traits that you would like to work on for the year.

3. A picture of you.

4. Include pictures of things that describe you (such as your hobbies, favorite sports, or other interests).

What your author page might look

like…

Get Started!Now that you have the instructions of what to do, begin designing you cover page and author page. You will turn them in at the end of class and I will pass them back out to you when we

meet again. Remember to bring your notebook and all other materials

tomorrow as we will put it all together!

Starting with the 1st page, number the first 50 pages. The 1st page is 0 (zero) – EVEN numbers will

always be on the RIGHT and ODD numbers on the LEFT. Number at the TOP OUTSIDE CORNER of

every page.
