Carson Dellosa | Interactive Notebook Science Workbook | Grade 3, Printable
[{'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Interactive Notebooks are great for kids who love to learn and do arts & crafts projects. I purchased this to teach my homeschooled son, thinking he would enjoy them. Unfortunately, we would spend a lot of time cutting and pasting and little time learning. To make the exercise more time effective, I would assemble the pages at night and he would do the activity the next day. He enjoyed doing it that way more than I did. They are educational and because they are interactive, the information was retained better than just talking about each subject.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Well- this book has some great science material.... but the biggest problem is that the next lesson IS ON THE BACK OF THE LESSON THAT THE KIDS CUT OUT! So as I am homeschooling now- I do not have a lot of access to printing material. So sometimes I have to take pictures of the back to work off of it. Also- finding lesson plans to correlate with the material is hard! Not my favorite, sad to say!'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2017', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "These is a great starter resource for teachers wanting to start interactive notebooks. Includes a good section on getting started, ideas for notebook uses, grading rubric, page to plan your notebook etc. The ideas are easy to implement but do take time. The time put into getting the notebook setup is time consuming but if you are doing them for several subjects the students get the hang of it quickly and the process moves along faster. The more you do them, the better the students and teacher get at utilizing this tool. I suggest purchasing a grade up and down. Some pages are a bit repetitive up or down a grade but this helps to differentiate for students within your classroom (especially in Science). I found the pages for Rocks easy to incorporate and differentiate for the different ages at home. I've taught for many years and homeschool my own and it is great with having a multi-age classroom. I add pages and activities in our interactive notebook as needed and exclude any I don't need. Is it perfect? No. Is it useful? Yes. A good foundation to build on.\n\nI purchased Language Arts, Science, and Math."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': "I am really shocked by all the good reviews. This is basically just an outline. You need your own notebook and copy machine. My third grader need not waste time coloring and cutting out little diagrams. I see some educational value in this, but not for 3rd grade. Plus I don't have time to go make copies of every page. They could have at least put the exercises on a blank page."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': "I love that all the lessons are in one place, making it easier on a parent. I love that its so interactive that my child actually remembers what he's learned. The only issue I have is that I have to remember to snap a photo of the back of every assignment before we cut out pieces because it has the next assignments instructions on it. So every lesson we do I have to read from my phone. But it's not such an issue to prevent me from buying another subject book. I love them."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-2 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Bought this to home school my 3rd grade child during CoVid-19 school closing. This is more of cut out and paste art book than science. My 3rd grader is so over cutting and pasting. Easier to plan a science lesson from online lessons or just buy another book.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2020', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': 'I love these hands on science notebook projects. They are great to use for reinforcing already learned information.\nDid you learn about pollination? Take out the pollination page and color/cut/paste the flip up information doors, fill in the blanks, and paste them behind the correct flip up'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-5 review-rating', 'review_body': "The information provided is perfect for piquing interest in a wide variety of science topics. With a laptop on hand, or a library nearby, this can lead to some great projects and discussions. I love the direction and inspiration that it gives, and the presentable product for state review at the end of the year is a plus. It is very flexible in order of presentation, and you can stop to really embellish on certain topics, or simply cover and move on from the things of less interest. My son enjoys the ability to personalize it, and the variations of interactivity with each page keeps him engaged. Many homeschoolers can relate to dropping funds on something that looks good, but ends up collecting dust on the shelf because it wasn't a good fit. This is excellent for its adaptability, is *very* modest in the investment, and one of the best purchases I have made. We also have Language Arts and Math. All good stuff."}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2016', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'These were great however, it should be noted that you will have to make copies of the papers in order for students to use them. The lesson plan and answers are on the backside. You can find other sources for about the same price on other online teacher notebooking sites. I do like that it covered thoroughly all the target concepts for 3rd grade science.'}, {'review_meta': 'Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2019', 'review_star': 'a-icon a-icon-star a-star-4 review-rating', 'review_body': 'Designed to be a teaching tool that you make copies of the pages rather than a workbook. I was really looking for a workbook but the learning activities are great.'}]
