Interactive Science | Interactive Notes- Why Is The Sky
Blue?
| In this special set of interactive notes: students create a progressively thickening "atmosphere". At first it's so thin that's it's nearly non-existent (like the moon's). As it becomes thicker all light is choked and has no direct
path through (just like Venus).

Teacher Notes
 |
►A strong 6-page set of
Teacher Notes
full of illustrations and details (shown left):
- Page 1 is divided into 3 easy-to-follow sections: How To Use
Interactive Notes, Student Materials (linked to a science supply
company), and Beforehand.
- Pages 2-5 each focuses on one of the four student-performed demonstrations. They begin with a screenshot and a paragraph describing how students do the demo. The rest of the page contains more information you need to know, like- advice on how the demo works best, links/resources, cautions, different ways of doing the demo, and things you might say.
- The last page explains how to get the materials cleaned up and ready for your next science class most efficiently. Students do all the work!
►A clear 5 slide
PowerPoint (shown right) that leads you and your students through the 4 demonstrations. There are 4 parts to each slide: the drawing, what we did, what we saw, and what's happening. As each appears, it cues students to write it on their handout.
►A
student handout that follows the same format that the PowerPoint uses, which makes it easy for students to follow.
►A document that explains
how the Interactive Notes system works.
►We also included a little something extra for your students- a
creative homework or follow-up assignment in which the explanation for the blue sky has been broken into pieces and is in need of all the kings horses and men putting it back together again.
►16
pictures and drawings you can use any way you like to reinforce concepts.

No Magic
While the Interactive Science Teacher Series Of Interactive Lessons were designed to be purposeful and effective, they still won’t magically teach themselves (wouldn’t that be nice if they did?). Teaching a good lesson is hard work, and there will never be a substitute for good preparation and your willingness to put your all into it.
The Yellow Sheet
It’s a given that the more prepared you are, the better off everyone will be in your classroom. If you aren’t doing enough planning and preparation prior to each lesson and you often feel overwhelmed, check out our
Yellow Sheet. One definition of a successful person is someone who understands what needs to be done first, and they do it. They’re busy like the rest of us, but their priorities are where they should be. We think the Yellow Sheet will help you get organized so that your more important things done first.
