Introduction

If you are new to the idea of using a Science Interactive Notebook in your classroom, stop by my Nitty Gritty Science shop and download my Intro to Science Interactive Notebooks tutorial for FREE! In there you will find tips on how to begin with your students, what materials to have on hand and, most importantly, how it will enhance your students learning through reflection and creativity.

Focused Lessons with Differentiated Instruction

The lessons shared on the following pages cover National Science Standards and meet students’ needs. I have given you the notes that I would give my students (Right Side – Input Side of Notebook) so you can understand what I’m having the students focus on when working on their creative assignments (Left Side – Output Side of Notebook). Each lesson focuses on a Question of the Day (QOD) represented in red in the top margin of each “Input” page with student giving answer in red on “Output” page.

Left Side – Output

Instructions for each Output Side are included. This includes cut-outs, foldables or master copies where applicable. You may find that students work slow at first, but once groups are organized and students know what is expected from them, not only will you see more energy focused on the final product, but also you will be shocked at the level of creativity certain students have in certain areas.

Mini-Assessments

Mini quizzes will be given for each section so you may monitor student’s level of understanding. For reproduction purposes, there are two quizzes to a page so you can cut in half and save on some paper

Section 2: Features of Waves

Instructions:

Students will not only label parts of a wave with this printable, but will also make a perfect study tool for the chapter test and quiz. This printable has flaps that students will cut and fold back to reveal the term that they will write in the correct position on each wave diagram. This section includes the Wave Printable along with a mini-quiz.

Directions: Cut on the dotted lines then paste sheet into Science Interactive Notebook. Fold flaps up then write in proper vocabulary term where they belong on each wave.

Wave Vocabulary: Crest Wavelength Rest position Trough Amplitude Compression Rarefaction

Section 3: Behavior of Waves

Instructions:

For this page in the Science Interactive Notebook, students will conduct a mini-investigation observing the Refraction of Light. A handful of materials are needed, including a: prism, flashlight, cardboard, water, pencil and a beaker. After the investigation students will need to draw their observations and explain what behavior of light waves they saw.

The following are the directions for the Refraction of Light mini-investigation, student recording page and a mini-quiz.

Refraction of Light

Objective: To observe the refraction of light waves.

Materials:

Prism Flashlight Scissors Tape

Cardboard Pencil Beaker Water

Directions:

Part 1

1. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the light source of the flashlight.

2. Cut a slit in cardboard about 3 cm long and 2mm wide and tape to flashlight.

3. Darken the room and shine flashlight beam so that it strikes one of the sides.

4. Rotate prism until a pattern of colors is produced, then place a piece of white paper where pattern appears so you can observe the spectrum of colors.

5. Draw your observations (include flashlight beam, prism and spectrum) on recording sheet.

Part 2

6. Fill the beaker half way with water.

7. Place a pencil in the beaker and observe appearance of pencil with your eye level the same as the water level.

8. Draw your observations on your recording sheet.

9. Answer all questions on recording sheet, then paste onto appropriate page in Science Interactive Notebook.

Section 4: Electromagnetic Spectrum

Instructions:

Students will be given vocabulary terms to cut and paste in the proper order on the diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. They will also be asked to color in the proper order of colors for the Visible Light Spectrum.

Included for this section is the printable for the student worksheet Electromagnetic Spectrum and of course a mini-quiz.

* I photocopied the worksheet on colored paper and had the vocab terms on white paper so they would stand out more…plus I just love color

Section 5: Communicating with Radio Waves

Instructions:

Students will create a collage of at least 10 items that use Radio Waves. To make it challenging, you can tell them radios and televisions are not allowed in collage unless they already have 10 different items. All items need to be clearly seen and labeled.

I’ve included a Teacher Resource Page for your own master Science Interactive Notebook of all items shown above to save you time in addition to the section mini-quiz.
