Students get so excited about Science! The above video illustrates how excited students get when they get to do the science rather than read about it, watch a video, or just watch the teacher! However, much of the learning comes as students complete science journal entries along with the hands on lab demonstrations. My next unit is based on the three states of matter and includes this simple experiment using a film canister, Alka-Seltzer, and water. It also includes guided lab journal entries for our 'Lil' Scientists'! I'm calling the new unit "Up, Up, and Away". I'll let you know when it is complete.

Thinking about Interactive Sciene Notebooks...
So, my 2nd grade students LOVE anything to do with science! I am making it easier for them by creating guided lab journal pages. Sure, they can write on a blank lab page, but with just a bit more structure their notes and ideas become crystal clear. Here is a sample of what I am talking about.
If you are interested in seeing more, you can visit DVD's Creations and download some free pages to get started. If you like what you see you can try my Seed to Sprout unit this fall in your elementary classroom. :)
