Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan, authors of the Picture-Perfect Science series.Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, MathHOW DO I MAKE SCIENCE COME ALIVE FOR MY STUDENTS?Primary source documents from 150 years of American scientists provide an amazing look into the practice of keeping a science notebook. Featuring notebooks from ten scientists, students learn how to write and draw in ways that help develop their understanding of science. The workbook helps teachers implement the Next Generation Science Standards, the Common Core State Standards for ELA, and the STEAM initiative. Scientists pages are interwoven with 98 pages of gridded and blank pages, extra-large (8.5 x 11 inches). Grids on the right, blank pages on the left. Historical documents are interspersed with notebook pages for students to use in recording observations. Historical documents will: Emphasize the importance of writing in science and model effective writing and drawing to record observations Introduce students to eleven American scientists who have made lasting contributions Introduce students to a variety of scientific fields Demonstrate the importance of notebooks across a wide variety of science specialties including ornithology (birds), behavioral evolutionary biology, malacology (mollusks), botany (plants), entomology (insects), zookeeper, epidemiology (infectious diseases), agrostology (grasses), ichthyology (fish), and taxidermy (preserving specimens). Using the INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK PAGES, students will learn to:Record observations through writing and drawing Develop explanations and arguments based on evidence Write narrative and informative essays Understand the interconnections between drawing and writing to provide information The notebook pages are deceptively simple in their organization.Headers encourage careful recording of important information, and a Table of Contents keeps everything at the student's fingertips. Odd-numbered pages provide a grid for math or handwriting help. Even-numbered pages are for free-form writing, drawing, or gluing in teacher-provided worksheets. Each scientist inspires suggestions for how to work in the notebook. Sample STEAM questions--Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math--are included for each scientist. ****************************************BUY THIS NUTS AND BOLTS INTERACTIVE STEAM NOTEBOOK TO HELP YOUR CLASSES COME ALIVE FOR STUDENTS !*****************************************Examples of Primary Source Documents Alexander Wetmore's 1906 list of birds he saw, age 8William Dall's drawing of a Native Alaskan woman in 1867Disgustingly fascinating photo of a 9-year-old boy holding a board of hook and tape worms he expelled.Triumphant photo of botanist Mary Agnes Chase on top of the tallest mountain in Brazil.Donald Erdman's interesting photo of a unique fishing method by Arabic fishermen in the Persian GulfClose up of a butterfly's overlapping scales by butterfly scientist Bob Silberglied With My Steam Notebook, it's easy to encourage students to write, draw, use color to show information, and take photos for their science notebooks.
