SCIC Science is Cool-Pocket Lab & Notebook

Link to SCIC Science Is Cool Website


I came across this website going through new member requests on Facebook the other day the name alone made me curious. I went to the website and found this gem. They have notebooks that are equivalent to lab reports. I was even more excited when I seen they were integrated with PhET, Hooked On Science, Teacher Geek, and NGSS aligned for high and middle school. 

This is what they are currently offering educators:

  • Create up to 35 notebooks for free. 
  • Integrates with Google Classroom
  • Create unlimited classes
  • If you decide to purchase the PRO plan it is 150.00 a year

After looking at a couple of lab notebooks I noticed the following:  

  • Students are doing science, they are the scientist and engineers.
  • 3-D learning is taking place students are implementing science and engineering practices, DCI, and crosscutting concepts.  
  • They have pre-made lessons/notebooks available.
  • The lessons are scaffolding and use instructional strategies (Think-Pair-Share)
  • I love the fact that students are using C.E.R. for their conclusion. EVIDENCE!!!

I haven't had time to use the product more than once myself due to my schedule this summer.  Hopefully, I will get to it next week. I just wanted to share this information. Hopefully, this will help someone. They also have a webinar coming up soon if you would like to learn more about this product. Please feel free to leave feedback.
