As I wrote about in the previous post, much of the information from Ch. 2, I can see myself utilizing as a future elementary teacher during science lessons. After further reading more into Science Notebooks, including Ch. 3 regarding "Signs of Student Progress", I continue to recognize the importance of using a science notebook in the classroom.
Not only do science notebooks provide useful organizational skills for students, but also a good progression marker for both students and teachers. I like the idea of using the notebooks as a discussion starter between teachers and students, in addition to discussions between students. The more I continue to discover on the use of notebooks, the further I can see myself using them in the classroom throughout every science unit. I believe the skills developed are invaluable. As a younger student, I can imagine myself becoming much more captivated than I originally was with science if offered the choice to keep a science notebook in school.
