The Student Notebook for our high school marine biology course is specifically designed to help homeschool students be independent and take responsibility for their science studies as they gain and maintain the personal abilities to create structure and logic through note taking.

Student Notebook

This high-quality spiral-bound notebook is specifically designed to help your student make a successful transition to high school science. This homeschool resource will help them feel accomplished and be more independent, organized, and prepared. Note-taking helps increase retention of information, review for tests, and produce a record of their thoughts as they connect the ideas presented in the textbook with their own ideas. Additionally, a student notebook helps students keep a carefully organized, detailed, and complete lab notebook, recording labs they conducted using proper scientific methodology. Taking good notes can make the difference between mastering a concept and not quite understanding it. Good notes provide the following advantages:

• Students stay focused on what they are reading.
• Students pay closer attention, which will increase their retention.
• Students have their own version of the text to review for tests.
• Students learn to connect new information to what they already know.
