Mastering
making your
own notes
1. Bullet Points – Write short points instead of full sentences to remember key
ideas.
Example: Unbalanced force → changes speed/direction
2. Mind Maps – Draw the main topic in the center and connect ideas with lines and
pictures.
Example: Forces → Balanced / Unbalanced → Effects
Draw It Out – Use quick sketches or diagrams to show what’s happening (like a
ball being pushed).
Color Coding – Use different colored pens/highlighters for headings, definitions, and
examples.
T-Charts – Divide the page into two columns (e.g., “Balanced Forces” vs
“Unbalanced Forces”).
Keyword Boxes – Write key words in a
box and add arrows or short meanings
next to them.
Sticky Notes – Write one idea per sticky note and stick them on your notebook
or desk for quick review.
