Learning from the authors of Composing Science: A Facilitator’s Guide to Writing in the Science Classroom we know that “[f]ormal scientific writing begins informally, as scribbles in the margins of an article, notes taken at a conference, or surprising data described in a lab notebook.” In learning how to “compose science” then, the authors suggest that the use of notebooks can begin with spending time with the notebooks of science professionals and engaging in discussion about their many purposes in the field. Doing this allows “… students come to see their notebooks as a way to learn and not simply as a way to record what is already known.” (Chapter 1, Composing Science)

Christina C Christina C (Sep 29 2022 4:28PM) : In this resource - https://www.nsta.org/science-teacher/science-teacher-septemberoctober-2022/engaging-students-scientific-practices - a teacher writes about the ways that students can be engaged with the notebooks of Alexander Graham Bell. more

In this blog post, he points out pages where students can see revision, progression of thinking, diagrams and labels … an emphasizes how this shows that Bell didn’t just “get it right” the first time!

Sometimes someone just needs a good mentor to get started. I love my writer’s notebook and sparking that joy with our students really creates something that will help our students connect their words with the outside world.
