I did a week long workshop with some of the K-2 teachers in my district last week.  I shared with them the importance of science notebooks and then we made our own, so it made me wish for more materials to make them with!

Two of the favorite items we used were duct tape (to decorate our notebooks and to hold the spines together) and straws (we taped these on to the spiral edge of our notebooks to hold our pencils in).

Look at all the different kinds of Duct Tape you can get!!  This is “Duck” brand tape. 🙂

I used Jumbo plastic straws like these.  I got mine at Target in the party section.  There were 12 in a package (ROYGBP) and they were in a package 12 for $2.I’m going to have to go stock up on some more so that we can decorate our science notebooks! 🙂
