The book is written in a conversational format as the author talks directly to students, walking them through how to complete experiments, how to identify the important parts of the information presented, and where and how to take notes as they progress. The student notebook pairs perfectly with this process, providing easy-to-understand graphics where students fill in the blank spaces as they read. Thus, they are learning how to take information out of a text, identify key points, and critically think through what they are learning. Daily lesson plans are included in the student notebook so students easily understand what is expected of them each day, yet there is still room for flexibility in the schedule to meet the needs of the student and the family.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExperiments:\u003c\/strong\u003e In early modules, specific portions of the text are highlighted so students know where to find important information for lab write-ups, and they are guided through that process.

Lab report samples are provided so the students learn proper formatting and what is expected of them.

You can choose to use the character-building points in your evaluations. Offer encouragement if you see your student struggling. Ask them to review with you what they are learning. Mentor to them how you took notes at their age. You will see that with each notebook module we offer tips and hints. By the time your student finishes the course, you’ll see highlighting and colored fonts, personal thoughts expanded and explored, and a true knowledge on how to personalize, capture, and understand new knowledge.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe General Science Student Notebook Includes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDaily Lesson Plan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBreakdown of the assignments, detailing exactly what needs to be done each day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePages where the student takes notes.
