Note-Taking
Homework: Finish “Science in the News” handout
Note-taking Types of note-taking: Cornell, Flowchart, Venn
Diagram, Cluster, Outline Purpose : to become actively
engaged in the material
I’ve never even heard of these terms before?!
Don’t worry! I’ll tell you all about
‘em!
Cornell System
Cornell System
2-column format Write your notes in one column. Use the other column to list key words or
thoughts
Cornell System
Key Words The Rock Cycle
Rock Cycle 1. A cycle showing how rocks are formed
2. Made up of 3 main types of rock: sedimentary rock, igneous rock and metamorphic rock
Sediment
Sedimentary Rock
Metamorphic Rock
Igneous Rock
3. Existing rock which has been crushed by harsh wind and water (forming small particles)
4. Layers of sediment that have been cemented together
5. Formed by heat and pressure
6. Rock that has been “cooked”
Flowcharts
Flowcharts
Used to show a cycle or process A box represents each part or step Eliminates jotting down many words
FlowchartsThe Rock Cycle
3 Main types of Rock
1) Sedimentary Rock
2) Metamorphic Rock
3) Igneous Rock
Sedimentary Rock
When layers of sediment become cemented together
Metamorphic Rock
When sedimentary rock experiences great heat and pressure
Igneous Rock
When metamorphic rock “cooks”
T-Bars
Draw a T-Bar and label the two sides: pros/cons, before/after, similarities/differences, problems/solutions
Create your own labels
T-Bars
Problems Solutions1. Hard to understand important science concepts
1. Take notes
2. Copying notes can take a long time
2. Develop new ways to take notes so it doesn’t take so long
Venn Diagrams
Venn Diagrams
Used to compare two topics Draw two overlapping circles as shown
Venn Diagrams
Sedimentary Rock Igneous Rock
•Formed from sediment
•Caused by weathering
•Formed in layers
Both
Types of rock
•Rock is “cooked”
•Formed when rock melts (magma) and then comes out of a volcano and begins to harden/ cool
Clusters
Is excellent for brainstorming Begin with a key word, name, topic, or phrase Then record or cluster the details around it. Add
branches that relate to each other. Use markers to color-code or emphasize
important concepts

5 W’s Chart
The 5 W’s – Who? What? Where? When? Why? (and How?) identify basic information about a subject.
These questions ensure that you will always have the facts you need.

To come up with a solution to a real-world problem
Outline
Outline
When you have a text or book that shares ideas, use it to create an outline. Show importance by indenting.

Learning styles and Note-taking
Verbal-linguistic: rewrite important ideas or summaries
Logical-mathematical: organize main points in outline format, use charts , graphs
Bodily-kinesthetic: make notes taking as physical as possible, use file cards
Learning style ( cont)
Visual –spatial: use colored pens, clusters, diagrams
Interpersonal: use study group to discuss notes, review notes with study partner
Intrapersonal: schedule quiet time to review notes and reflect on notes
Learning styles (cont)
Musical: play music while you read notes, create a chant form note material
Naturalistic: read or rewrite notes outside or while listening to nature CD
