ABSTRACT
This chapter introduces students to types of scientists and what scientists’ work entails. Tire lessons in this chapter will engage students as they delve into scientific career possibilities. Students will use literacy skills as they read, summarize, and paraphrase information about the work of scientists. By learning more about scientists, students may also be able to imagine themselves as scientists. A simple composition notebook, supplied by the teacher, can lend itself to a world of possibilities when it is used as a science notebook. This notebook contains students’ record-keeping of their scientific learning. Organized and personalized, it has certain features to help students arrange science content coherently and meaningfully. It should contain a Table of Contents, page numbers, and dates and subjects for each entry. Students should write in their notebooks daily as they take notes, respond to prompts, and record data. Additionally, students can use graphic organizers to better understand content.
