My Project
In our science department, consumable chemicals and laboratory glassware have taken a huge chunk of our science budget. It is very unfortunate that there are not enough funds to support materials that can enhance our classroom learning, particularly focusing on teaching the students to take down organized notes that would help them learn the difficult topics of chemistry.
This coming school year, I wanted to provide my students with college-ruled composition notebooks to use in creating a more organized way of taking notes, in their interactive chemistry notebooks.
For the past two school years, I have learned to use Interactive Chemistry Notebooks for guided and more organized note-taking in my classes. And for the past two years, the results have been very successful as students have not only created more organized notebooks that they actually use to review and prepare for our lessons, but have given this style a continued shoutout and praise, saying that these notebooks have helped them learn better in our class. Even my students who did not have a chance to have these interactive notebooks would tell me that they wished they had done this too when they say what these notebooks look like.
I started this idea after receiving training on it during the summer of the 2022-2023 school year. Then I realized that there are a lot of students who do not know how to take down notes properly, and that there are those that do take down notes in notebooks that are just set aside and seldom used for reviewing for tests and other assessments. Interactive Notebooks provide a different approach to note-taking that help students in processing information learned in class and review for assessments and tests. These also allow students develop proper note-taking skills.
