3 Introduction If you are new to the idea of using a Science Interactive Notebook in your classroom, stop by my Nitty Gritty Science shop and download my Intro to Science Interactive Notebooks tutorial for FREE! In there you will find tips on how to begin with your students, what materials to have on hand and, most importantly, how it will enhance your students learning through reflection and creativity. 3 Focused Lessons with Differentiated Instruction The lessons shared on the following pages cover National Science Standards and meet students needs. I have given you the notes that I would give my students (Right Side Input Side of Notebook) so you can understand what I m having the students focus on when working on their creative assignments (Left Side Output Side of Notebook). Each lesson focuses on a Question of the Day (QOD) represented in red in the top margin of each Input page with student giving answer in red on Output page. Left Side Output Instructions for each Output Side are included. This includes cut-outs, foldables or master copies where applicable. You may find that students work slow at first, but once groups are organized and students know what is expected from them, not only will you see more energy focused on the final product, but also you will be shocked at the level of creativity certain students have in certain areas. Mini-Assessments Mini quizzes will be given for each section so you may monitor student s level of understanding. For reproduction purposes, there are two quizzes to a page so you can cut in half and save on some paper

4 Section 1: Waves 4 Instructions: Students will complete a Waves Concept Map with terms and phrases given to them on printable. Once finished, they should cut and paste into their Science Interactive Notebook. Included for this section are the blank concept map reproducible and a mini-quiz.

5 Directions: Using the following terms or phrases, complete the concept map on Waves then cut out and paste into your Science Interactive Notebook.

7 Section 2: Features of Waves 7 Instructions: Students will not only label parts of a wave with this printable, but will also make a perfect study tool for the chapter test and quiz. This printable has flaps that students will cut and fold back to reveal the term that they will write in the correct position on each wave diagram. This section includes the Wave Printable along with a mini-quiz.

8 Directions: Cut on the dotted lines then paste sheet into Science Interactive Notebook. Fold flaps up then write in proper vocabulary term where they belong on each wave. Wave Vocabulary: Crest Wavelength Rest position Trough Amplitude Compression Rarefaction 8

10 Section 3: Behavior of Waves 10 Instructions: For this page in the Science Interactive Notebook, students will conduct a mini-investigation observing the Refraction of Light. handful of materials are needed, including a: prism, flashlight, cardboard, water, pencil and a beaker. After the investigation students will need to draw their observations and explain what behavior of light waves they saw. A The following are the directions for the Refraction of Light miniinvestigation, student recording page and a mini-quiz.

11 Refraction of Light Objective: To observe the refraction of light waves. Materials: Prism Cardboard 11 Flashlight Pencil Scissors Beaker Tape Water Directions: Part 1 1. Cut a piece of cardboard to fit over the light source of the flashlight. 2. Cut a slit in cardboard about 3 cm long and 2mm wide and tape to flashlight. 3. Darken the room and shine flashlight beam so that it strikes one of the sides. 4. Rotate prism until a pattern of colors is produced, then place a piece of white paper where pattern appears so you can observe the spectrum of colors. 5. Draw your observations (include flashlight beam, prism and spectrum) on recording sheet. Part 2 6. Fill the beaker half way with water. 7. Place a pencil in the beaker and observe appearance of pencil with your eye level the same as the water level. 8. Draw your observations on your recording sheet. 9. Answer all questions on recording sheet, then paste onto appropriate page in Science Interactive Notebook.

12 Refraction of Light Define Refraction: Observations: 12 Prism Spectrum Pencil in Water Explain the behavior of light waves when they strike the: Prism Water Give two real-world examples of refraction of light: 1. 2.

13 Name Date Quiz: Behavior of Waves Matching 1. Refraction 2. Diffraction 3. Reflection 4. Interference 5. Law of Reflection a. when two or more waves overlap and combine to form a new wave b. wave strikes an object and bounces off c. bending of wave caused by moving from one medium to another d. angle of incidence of a wave is always equal to the angle of reflection e. object causes wave to change direction and bend toward it Compare and contrast refraction and diffraction Name Date Quiz: Behavior of Waves Matching 1.

Compare and contrast refraction and diffraction

14 Section 4: Electromagnetic Spectrum 14 Instructions: Students will be given vocabulary terms to cut and paste in the proper order on the diagram of the Electromagnetic Spectrum. They will also be asked to color in the proper order of colors for the Visible Light Spectrum. Included for this section is the printable for the student worksheet Electromagnetic Spectrum and of course a mini-quiz. * I photocopied the worksheet on colored paper and had the vocab terms on white paper so they would stand out more plus I just love color

15 Directions: 1. Cut out and paste terms in correct location on electromagnetic spectrum Color in the visible light spectrum with the proper order of color wavelengths. 3. Paste into Science Interactive Notebook. Microwaves Infrared Visible Light Radio waves Gamma Rays X Rays Ultraviolet

17 Section 5: Communicating with Radio Waves 17 Instructions: Students will create a collage of at least 10 items that use Radio Waves. To make it challenging, you can tell them radios and televisions are not allowed in collage unless they already have 10 different items. All items need to be clearly seen and labeled. I ve included a Teacher Resource Page for your own master Science Interactive Notebook of all items shown above to save you time in addition to the section mini-quiz.
