Setting up your Science Portfolio

For this course you will create a portfolio of your work in science.  Use some time this week to set up the portfolio notebook and locate where you will keep it in the classroom.   

The purpose of the portfolio is to 

• show learning and accomplishment in science.
• organize the information you need to study for quizzes.
• create a permanent record of science questions you have investigated. 
• provide an exhibit of your best science work during the year.
