Students in my classrooms will use science notebooks to record investigations, questions that may come up, and observations they make. After the investigation, students will record and analyze, synthesize, make arguments, evidence based claims and hypothesis based off the investigations. This is a great way to differentiate abilities in the classroom because students learn at their own pace and make discoveries on their own individualized learning.
