Welcome to Mr. Willard’s Classroom!
Always enter the classroom
silently and sit in your
appropriate seat and get
started. SILENTLY!
In homeroom you should
read a book, catch up on
homework, or study.
In science you should begin
immediately by pulling out
your INB and beginning your
sponge.
Welcome to Mr. Willard’s Classroom!
Lets talk about some classroom rules.
The classroom is silent unless you ask or
are given permission to speak. Raise
your hand to get permission!
You should be respectful towards
everyone and their property at all times.
You should not have out food, gum, or
drinks in class without permission.

Welcome to Mr. Willard’s Classroom!
Now lets talk about some
classroom consequences.
The 1st time any rule is broken
you will have silent lunch.
The 2nd time any rule is broken
you will have another silent lunch
and a call home.
The 3rd time any rule is broken
you will have another silent lunch,
another call home, and team
isolation.
The 4th time any rule is broken
you will be referred to the
assistant principal.

SCIENCE INTERACTIVE NOTEBOOK
(AKA: the INB)
“Your Key To Success in Science”
=
Presented by
Jerry Willard
Have you ever heard yourself say?...
Your INB is the
ANSWER!!!
What is an INB?
The purpose of your interactive notebook (INB) is
to collect, record, and organize your science
information in a creative way, all while creating a
PERSONALIZED DIARY of your science learning.
This notebook is designed to use both your right
and left-brain hemispheres to help you SORT,
CATEGORIZE, REMEMBER, and creatively
interact with the new knowledge you are gaining.
Your INB will also serve as a great tool to help
you stay ORGANIZED.
The best part is that it gives you permission to be
playful and CREATIVE in your responses without
"messing up" your notes.
Allows you be like a REAL SCIENTIST!
Real Scientists Use Notebooks!
Charles Darwin:
developed the theory
of evolution
Leonardo DaVinci: artist and inventor
Albert Michelson: physicist

Getting Started: Step 1
For the front of your INB…
• The name of the course:
7th Grade Life Science
Interactive Science Notebook
• Your name: (self explanatory)
• The class period that you have
science:
– Ex. Period 1
• Your teacher: Mr. Willard
• The school year: 2014-2015
• TWO OR MORE SCIENCE PICTURES:
– You can draw, get them from a magazine
or print from the Internet.
Author Page
You will create your author’s page on the inside of the front
cover of your INB. It should be neat and creative!
1.
Choose one word from the IB Learner Profile Pillar that
describes you.
2.
Choose two more words from the IB Learner Profile Pillar
that describe traits that you would like to work on for the
year.
3.
A picture of you.
4.
Include pictures of things that describe you (such as your
hobbies, favorite sports, or other interests).
What your
author page
might look
like…
Get Started!
Now that you have the instructions of
what to do, begin designing you cover
page and author page. You will turn
them in at the end of class and I will
pass them back out to you when we
meet again. Remember to bring your
notebook and all other materials
tomorrow as we will put it all
together!
Getting Started: Step 2
Starting with the 1st page, number the first 50 pages.
The 1st page is 0 (zero) – EVEN numbers will
always be on the RIGHT and ODD numbers on the
LEFT. Number at the TOP OUTSIDE CORNER of
every page.
