Use Science Notebooks to Promote Literacy in Your Classroom

Discover why Using Science Notebooks in Elementary Classrooms is the ¡°must-have¡± resource for the development of literacy and reasoning skills. Learning science involves both the process of thinking and the ability to communicate those thoughts, and one of the most effective ways of building these skills is through the use of science notebooks.

Michael Klentschy¡¯s book is designed for teachers who are beginning to use or would like to extend their use of notebooks in the classroom. Research-based best practices such as scaffolds, sentence starters, and writing prompts are clearly explained and illustrated. Examples of student work are included to provide insight for better instructional strategies.

Informal Science

As the school year winds down, many families will be finalizing their summer travel plans. Now is the perfect time to encourage them to take advantage of informal science opportunities during their travels. Ask students to share their vacation plans and point out the science museums, national parks, and public gardens or arboretums along their route. Below is a collection of online resources we've compiled for Informal Science.
