This week we practiced using our science notebooks to review and study for an assessment. This process also highlights how important good notetaking is. Each student used sticky notes to mark the three most important aspects of our most recent investigation.
We took our end of the unit assessment. Looking forward to starting our new investigation the week after our biography presentations.
