Class in Action


Yesterday I introduced a new note taking strategy called Cornell Notes with Summary. I demonstrated this technique using page 250 in the Sciencesaurus. Students will use the new note taking strategy throughout the year and it should give them a little extra time with the materials as they read and then summarize the topic.

Need 2 Know

This is a new section I have added to our blog that covers the information in the Sciencesaurus resource from our classroom. It has all of the Need to know information for class. (Consider it the condensed version of Physical Science)
