Many urban schools do not access to new, up-to-date textbooks. With a lack of resources, students come into freshman physics making their own "textbook" throughout the school year. The book starts with an "about the author" page where students write about themselves and what excites them for freshman year of high school. It then has a table of contents and alphabetized glossary section. Because over 40% of students are English language learners, this glossary section is vital to their understanding of physics tier 3 words.
Students take pride in their notebooks as they learn how to take notes, be organized, and complete rigorous work to prepare them for the rest of their high school career.
The physics interactive notebook will have color coded glossaries and notes for students. The crayons will go towards students unpacking ideas they just learned in a creative way. Students need tape to tape in their fill-in-the-blank colored notes as well as prompts for the left side pages. Students put a lot of work into their notebooks and receive stamps as rewards for completing classwork.
