Teaching Science With Interactive Notebooks gives science teachers everything they need to incorporate interactive notebooks into classroom teaching and learning. All of the how-to is here for using notebooks to promote deeper student learning, critical and scientific thinking, and reinforcement of learning throughout the academic year.



Kellie Marcarelli covers everything from rationale, procedures, organization, optimal use to propel student processing, thinking, learning, and metacognition, to how to explain the process to students and model it for them, to related classroom management, time management, assessment, and homework. A special segment on "accountable talk" also shows teachers how to develop the patterns of scientific discussion through classroom discourse that provide grounding for students' notebook entries.





This book can enrich learning in any science classroom and supports the effort to make students the owners of their own learning. Interactive notebooks are natural differentiators that allow students to learn standards-based content and demonstrate that learning in individualized ways.
