Science notebooking can create a seamless connection between science and literacy. Notebooks allow students to record their interactions with scientific phenomena through observations, experiences, and thinking, which are integral parts of the scientific process. Writing in notebooks requires students to clarify their own understanding and identify gaps in their knowledge. Notebooks have benefits like cognitive engagement, organizing data, self-assessment, linking new and prior knowledge. Sample tools used in notebooks include diagrams, charts, concept maps, and summaries. Notebooks have a long history in science and were used by thinkers like Leonardo da Vinci and Charles Darwin to document their work.
