**SET UP SCIENTIST NOTEBOOK TO BE USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR**
Excellent site to provide guidance and examples: http://www.sciencenotebooks.org/ 1st Assignment: Draw a Scientist Have students imagine a scientist at work and “draw what they saw.” Use their sketches to discuss misconceptions about what scientists look like, what they wear, what they do, etc. 2nd Assignment: Scientists _____________. Have students make a list of verbs to fill in the blank. Examples may include: discover, think, explore, experiment, measure, test, etc. Use their answers to jumpstart discussion of things scientists do.
