Student Notebook
The student notebook for Exploring Creation with General Science, 3rd Edition, is highly recommended. It is designed to help students foster the independence, organization, and preparation they will need to thrive academically.
The textbook references the notebook throughout and directs students to complete the guided note-taking prompts, add experimental data and observations, and complete the comprehension questions. Your student will need this component to gain the best educational experience.
The student notebook introduces students to several methods for taking notes to build this skill set. Notetaking helps students retain information, review for tests, and record their thoughts as they connect the concepts presented in the textbook with their own ideas. Taking good notes can bridge the gap to mastering a concept.
Students will learn to:
- Outline the main concepts of a passage and list the minor concepts under the main ones.
- Use the author’s style to guide their notes. As the author defines a term, students will include that definition in their notebook.
- Compare and/or contrast two things using diagrams.
- Classify items referenced in the text.
Write notes in their own words instead of copying text word for word. - Look up and define new or unknown words to help build scientific vocabulary and better understand what they’re reading.
Additionally, the student notebook helps students keep a carefully organized, detailed, and complete lab notebook. Students can use the included lab report forms to record the information gathered during experiments and master writing a formal lab report.
The student notebook includes:
- Suggested Daily Schedule
- Breakdown of daily assignments, detailing exactly what needs to be done each day
- Note-taking pages which include prompts to help teach the student how to identify and record important information from the text
- Space to answer all study questions in the textbook, which serves as a review and prep for the tests.
- Space to record results from hands-on activities
- Lab report forms for each experiment found in the textbook
- Creation Connection pages where students record their intellectual, emotional, and spiritual reactions to what they are learning

Hands-on Experiments
In early modules, specific portions of the text are highlighted so students know where to find important information and are guided through the lab report process. Although students may complete more than one experiment in a module, they are given the opportunity to choose to complete a single formal lab report, thus building on interest-driven learning. Lab report samples are provided so the students learn proper formatting. All of the experiments in this course utilize easy-to-obtain household materials to demonstrate complex scientific principles, so no special equipment is necessary.
