First Day of School Science Open House Smartboard Notebook Lesson Plan

This Smartboard Notebook presentation Lesson Plan is a 14 page first day of school and open house presentation that could be adapted for any science class covering the following topics:

Science Class Goals, Thinking Skills, Communication Skills, Self-Evaluation, Appreciation of Nature, Prepare for More Advanced Science Courses, Evaluation, Curriculum Overview, Daily Routines, Science Class Rules, Hierarchy of Consequences, Reinforcement Rewards, Home-School Connection

My presentations have been made to be both informative on curricular topics and visually stimulating for all students. 100% of my students prefer to receive and discuss new topics via Notebook/PowerPoint (compared to reading textbooks, lectures, or copying information off of the board). I have found that this method works extremely well with both mainstreamed and inclusion students. When I taught in a traditional HS, I provided a notebook with all the slides for students who needed to take a second look at a slide or were absent for the day.

A free product preview of this entire Smartboard Notebook presentation is available.

A PowerPoint Presentation and other resources on introductory Science topics can be purchased separately.
