The Benefits of Using a Notebooking Journal
Keeping a scientific notebook has always been a standard scientific practice. Apologia’s notebooking journals have been designed to:
- Engage students in the scientific process and help make the lessons stick as they document their scientific findings and learning
- Make space for unique personal written and artistic expressions as your student engages both sides of their brain
- Be flexible and allow for age-appropriate learning. For example, a twelve-year-old student may write an essay and make an elaborate illustration, while a six-year-old may write one sentence with a stick-figure drawing
- Help students record experiences, observations, and thoughts
- Provide a written history that students can reference as they explore new subject areas
- Give your student a place where they can record and organize experiences and observations
- Provide a place to review their notes, create opinions, and draw conclusions about the way their world works
