Science 8 Interactive Notebooks

General Expectations for Notebooks​
  • Name of Student on Front Cover
  • Neat
  • Titles on Entries
  • Chronological Order with dates on entries
  • Effective Use of Space with no blank pages
  • Specified Activities Recorded in Notebook
Notebooks will be turned in on a periodic basis for review.
Picture
Mr. Delemeester suggests that the best notebook for Middle School Science is a composition book that can be purchased for less than a dollar from a local store like Meijer or WalMart.  
Picture
​Spiral bound notebooks are acceptable, but many students find the pages begin to rip out after a few weeks of use.


Notebook Grading Checklists​
Students in Science 8 will continue to maintain an Science Notebook in the same fashion as was done in 7th Grade.  Students will be asked to review their notebooks and before each test and to create a notebook checklist.  Notebooks and Checklists will be turned in for review and evaluation with each unit test.
