Interactive Notebook: Life Science, Grades 5 - 8

Interactive Notebook: Life Science is designed to allow students to become active participants in their own learning by creating interactive science notebooks (ISN). The instructions given in the book lay out an easy-to-follow plan for setting up, creating, and maintaining an interactive notebook for life science. The lessons cover units of study in classification of living organisms, the structure of life, and ecological communities. This interactive approach to diagramming science concepts gives students many opportunities to create models and demonstrate their knowledge through artistic creation, labeling, and verbal explanation. -Helps students record, store, and organize essential information -Serves as a resource for review and test prep -Involves both right-brain and left-brain activities for processing new information -Supports Next Generation Science Standards -Correlated to current national, state, and provincial standards
