I wanted to share with you some of my student interactives that I use for the student output side of the Physical Science Interactive Notebook. Students REALLY enjoy the variation of activities and you'll love the creativity that students show in their work! Check out what teachers have to say about using Interactive Notebooks in Physical Science:
" LOVE THIS! So helpful! My kids love the activities and I love how easy it is to prepare the activities. I feel like I don't need to go out and buy a bunch of supplies to do fun, interactive things!"
"I absolutely LOVE your units! Since I started incorporating these my students have gone from not all that into it and doing whatever bare minimum they could get away with to my last test I had every student pass. You have truly made a difference!"
The following example of a student interactive is one I made for teaching the Conservation of Energy. In this activity students are asked to draw a scene (onto a "movie strip") that would illustrate the Law of Conservation of Energy. They then place their "movie strip" behind the television cut-out and can slide it to show their example.
Another interactive example is using this circle foldable to help with three-variable equations - in this case a work equation:
The final example I would like to share with you today is one I created to help explain how lightning forms during a storm. With this lightning foldable, students cut it out then need to sequence the events of a lightning strike on each side. Just thought it was a lot more fun then just writing down a paragraph!
You can find these interactives and more in The Complete Physical Science Interactive Notebook which covers all topics taught throughout the year!
I would love to feature some of your students notebooks on my blog if you ever want to share - I know you'll be so proud of their beautiful work!
