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.
