A Parent’s Guide to Interactive Notebooks
Roger Barker
Have you ever heard your student say…
OI think I left it in my locker.
OI can’t find my homework.
OI don’t know where I put it.
What is an Interactive Notebook?
A interactive notebook (INB) is your student’s own personalized DIARY of learning about science
A portfolio of your student’s work in ONE convenient spot. This is great for studying for upcoming quizzes & test
A great ORGANIZATIONAL tool that gives permission to be PLAYFUL AND CREATIVE in responses without "messing up" your notes.
Allows your student to be like a REAL SCIENTIST!

InputOutput
6th Grade Unit 1 Input
Take notes in Interactive notebook (INB):
At this time your INB is set up and ready for use. You will glue this input to page 9 of INB. Use a highlighter to highlight important information on this page then take notes on page 8 of INB. Do not forget to enter these page titles on your Table of Contents.
The science notebook plays a major role in documenting a scientist’s thoughts, observations, and data collected during investigations and is a required tool for use in the science classroom. Students must take ownership and responsibility for their science notebook, and how to use their science notebook to document their science class experience. Keeping a science notebook is critical to student success. The notebook assists students in organizing their thinking and learning.
The INB consists of the following: Cover Page
o This page contains your full name, Teacher’s name, Room number, and Nine week period.
Table of Contents o Contains information on what is on which page (The teacher will tell you what
goes on which page), Date of assignment, and Page numbers. Syllabus
o Contains all information about what is to be learned when, Lab expectations, Grading schedule, Contact information, and Materials.
Rubric o Contains information on grading of the INB as well as grades for each INB check.
PIHERC (The Scientific Method) PROWS
o Explains what a student may do after all work is completed in class. Classwork, Homework, and Notes
o All classwork, homework, notes, and quizzes for the grading period. Science Safety – Take notes in your INB: Follow all written and verbal instructions carefully. If you do not understand a direction or part of a procedure, ASK YOUR TEACHER BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THE ACTIVITY. Do not eat food, drink beverages, or chew gum in the laboratory. All chemicals in the laboratory are to be considered dangerous. Avoid handling chemicals with fingers. Always use tweezers. When making an observation, keep at least 1 foot away from the specimen. Do not taste, or smell any chemicals. Report any accident (spill, breakage, etc.) or injury (cut, burn, etc.) to the teacher immediately, no matter how trivial it seems. Know the locations and operating procedures of all safety equipment including: first aid kit(s), and fire extinguisher. Know where the fire alarm and the exits are located.

Eye Safety Lab – 6th Grade
Problem – (What do you want to know?)
What would happen if I splashed chemicals into my eyes?
Information – (Give all of the information you can research that pertains to the problem)
Animal eyes are very delicate organs. Eyes are susceptible to damage by too much light, not enough water, and chemical contact such as chlorine, alcohol, sodium, etc. The tissue of egg whites is remarkably similar to the tissue of the eyes.
Hypothesis – (Write an if/then statement. Be very detailed in what you expect to observe.)
If alcohol comes into contact with the tissue of the eye then …
Experiment – (List the steps of the experiment in detail and list the materials needed including preventative safety equipment)
Place 75 ml of egg white in a glass beaker. Add 20 ml of alcohol to the beaker.
Materials: 75 ml egg white 20 ml alcohol 150 ml beaker 50 ml beaker Goggles
Results – (Describe what you observe) Conclusion – (Is the hypothesis correct? Why? Why not? Be very specific and detailed)
Reflection of learning during this lab goes here.
