Create your Eureka Connections Page for Unit 2
The Eureka! Connections pages are located at the beginning of each new unit in your Interactive Science Notebook
- The next two side-by-side pages in your notebook.
- In the center (or close to it) write your big idea or problem statement for the unit. (Hint: look at the heading of this page)
- After each activity in the unit, write a statement on this page spread which conveys the concept learned.
- Share with lab partners and other classmates. Make connections between the content (Conceptually in your mind and Visually on the page with arrows.)
- Use these "lines of evidence" and their connections to write your Eureka! Thesis at the end of the unit.
(All assignments are due the the following class meeting.)
