​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.
