Nature of Science Cornell Note Bundle

Cornell Notes are a method for taking, organizing and reviewing notes.

Students fill in an outline with keywords and answer questions then reflect on the notes by summarizing them in their own words

Bundle includes 9 sets of editable notes (2 Student fill- in sheets {full & notebook sized} and Teacher Answer Key) with Vocabulary, Questions and Summaries for:

• #1 Observations - Quantitative & qualitative observations as well as classifying and inferring
• #2 Scientific Measurement - Mass, volume, density, SI units, metric conversions and why using standard units is important to scientists
• #3 Scientific Math Skills and Tools - Skills (estimation, accuracy & precision, significant figures) and tools (mean, median, mode, range, percent error, anomalous data) scientists use
• #4 Graphs - Line, bar and circle/pie graphs including labeling and trends
• #5 Scientific Method - Steps of the Scientific Method (problem, research, hypothesis, experiment, variables, data, conclusion)
• #6 Scientific Thinking - Science versus Pseudoscience as well as empirical evidence, objective and subjective reasoning
• #7 Scientific Models and Systems - Models (why scientists use models, limitations, examples) and systems (inputs, outputs, feedback)
• #8 Scientific Laws and Theories - How are laws and theories different (hints & practice)
