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.

9 pictures and drawings you can use any way you like to reinforce concepts.

Great Questions

They’re rare hard to find, but they make all the difference in a lesson. We’re referring to great questions. One great question is powerful enough to carry an entire lesson- it gives you something to build around and up to. Or you can leave it with your students to chew on for a homework assignment that wraps on into tomorrow.

Our lessons include some great questions, but you can come up with more of your own by going through the lesson in your mind beforehand.

And don’t forget the importance of good mental preparation before the lesson. Plan a series of leading questions that culminate in that one special question that you almost can’t wait to get to. Since great questions seldom pop up out of nowhere, you should invest time in the lesson before the lesson, as described in our Yellow Sheet. By doing this you’ll give yourself a chance to come up with some great questions of your own.



More Than You Bargained For

When you go through our lessons we hope you’re surprised at how much you get. Sure, you expect student handouts and some sort of teacher notes. But what about customized PowerPoints, quizzes and homework assignments, an extra copy of every picture used, and teacher notes with a step-by-step explanation, illustrations, and Accessories that you can customize your lesson with? And if you’re not a reader or into all the details, we’ve still got you covered. Just refer to the Quick Notes for a minimal outline of the lesson.
