What to Write in a Notebook!\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTeachers and parents often ask what a child could put in a science notebook. After studying actual scientists' notebooks, here are 17 common things included:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eName. Include the observer's name.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDate. When was this observation made?\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLocation. Where was this observation made? This could include something complicated like GPS coordinates, but it's fine to just include a short description such as \"Lakeside Elementary playground,\" or \"My backyard.\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLists. The easiest and most common writing in science notebooks is a simple list. This may be a list of birds seen in a month, or a list of equipment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDescriptive Writing. Science notebooks often describe the thing being observed. It includes visual, auditory, tactile, smell, and, if appropriate, taste details. The sensory details are supported with measurements of weight, size, shape, number (example, number of lobes on a leaf), and the place collected.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpecimen. Often a scientist will insert a specimen, when appropriate. This may be a dried leaf from a plant, or a photo of an insect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNarrative Writing. When a scientist goes into the field, it is a journey. They often document the trip in a narrative style, explaining what they do each day. This diary-like entry included sensory details, information on events, location details, and personal opinions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHumor. Over and over in the scientist's notebooks humor finds a place. The scientists are able to step back from their studies and find funny moments to chronicle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-drawn illustrations. Scientists often use drawings to record details about their studies. This may be a detailed drawing of an octopus from three different perspectives, or details of a bird's wings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotography can't replace this because the illustration can show the same object from various positions. Also, scientists will label and make other notes on the pages.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRepeated Observations. Often scientists return to the same location to repeat observations. They may repeat observations at different times of the year, or different rain conditions. One scientist watched two termite colonies fight and recorded observations at the beginning, 15 minutes into the fight, and 30 minutes into the fight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLabeled Drawings. Drawings often need labels to explain what is shown. For example, one scientist drew three native potteries. The label explained that one was the size of a cup, one held about two quarts, and the largest held about five gallons. Without the label, the relative sizes of the pots would not be understood.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColor Illustrations. Extra information is often added with color. In one scientist's notebook, two similar fish were distinguished when color is added. Close-up Illustrations. Illustrations in a science notebook may be life-size, or may zoom in close. These close illustrations allow scientists to add extra observations and details.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLandscape illustrations. On the other hand, when a scientist wants to place observations in context, the strategy may be to draw a landscape. When the viewer's eye is pulled out to this wider angle, the observations are clearer in context. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInformative Writing. Often a scientist writes in an informative manner, conveying information about his observations. These are detail-oriented and meant to inform the reader. Interestingly, the scientist is often the reader, as they re-read their notebooks before reporting their observations.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiagrams, Charts, or Maps. When needed, scientists add explanatory drawings. They chart, diagram, or map as they observe.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhotographs. Today, scientists often include photographs as part of their notebooks. These could be close-ups, landscapes, or even x-rays.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWriting Prompts After reading about a scientist and how each wrote in their journals, it should be easy to create writing prompts. Think about how the scientist used the writing to record information, data, or humor. Read this book for a deeper understanding of famous scientists and their notebooks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"margin: 0in; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Georgia',serif; color: #535a62;\"\u003eTABLE OF CONTENTS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: 'Georgia',serif; color: #535a62;\"\u003eWhat are Field Notebooks?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eAlexander Wetmore, ornithologist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eJoseph Nelson Rose, botanist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eBill and Lucile Mann, zookeeper and writer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eFred Lowe Soper, epidemiologist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eMartin Moynihan, ornithologist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"background: white;\"\u003eMargaret S.
