Description

The Chemistry and Physics Regular Notebooking Journal pairs strategically with the Chemistry and Physics Textbook. This notebooking journal will serve as your student's individual notebook, and the place for them to complete all of their assignments. Not only does it include all the amazing features of our other notebooking journals in the Young Explorer Series, but it also includes an alternative Cold Climate Schedule as well as many additional activities, projects and experiments that your student can complete in one day or less. Throughout this course, they will draw and record fascinating facts and information learned during each lesson, complete the notebooking assignments on specially designed templates, record experiments, activities and projects, complete vocabulary crossword puzzles, put together beautifully designed miniature books, and more!

Keeping a scientific notebook has always been 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

Breakdown of daily assignments detailing exactly what needs to be done each day
Creative templates for completing the notebooking assignments
