Notebooking
The pages for our notebooks were a mixture of handwritten vocabulary, hand-drawn diagrams, and pages where we put pictures of our experiments and wrote about what was going on. We also used pages from the websites above, and from the Kids Discover magazines. Additionally we used worksheets on river systems, river review, and Ice Age/glacial landform flashcards.
