Young Scientists Need to Document Their Findings

Help me give my students the supplies necessary to become scientists. As part of our scientific journey this year we will be using interactive notebooks. 5 subject notebooks will provide them with the basis for success.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Middle school students are naturally curious. Our goal is to harness that curiosity as a tool for science learning. Our science curriculum this year will involve a lot of exploration and investigation. The students need an organized way to document the process and findings. Interactive 5 subject notebooks will provide them with a way to do this by providing a section for each unit of study, as well as a section for vocabulary acquired. Of course, pencils, colored pencils, and glue sticks will be necessary to make full use of their notebooks and help them to become young scientists.
