Every year I try to introduce my students to note-taking through our science curriculum. This year I tried to "spice" it up by introducing interactive note-taking. For each chapter's vocabulary, we create a flipbook in our notes. For our Rocks and Minerals unit, I decided to create an interactive chart to help the students learn the rock cycle.
Here's the final product:
The cover
We color-coded each arrow to represent the different processes of the rock cycle.
Underneath each flap is a note about the type of rock and inside each arrow is the name of the process.
The flaps help the kids study by hiding the information until they are ready to check their answers. The novelty of the flaps makes note-taking and studying seem fun for the kids, so it's a win-win! Once our Rock Cycle chart was complete, we glued them into our Science Journals to keep with all of our other notes.
Interested in trying out interactive notes in your classroom? Here are some great resources that got me started:
General flipbook shapes
and a great book I purchased with a lot of reproducibles and a CD-rom to print templates...
Enjoy!
