Washington State LASER. As teachers involve students in inquiry-based STEM investigations, the need to communicate STEM learning in new ways has become evident.
If students are encouraged to communicate their understanding of concepts through STEM notebook writings, these notebooks can be an effective strategy to help students learn STEM. Research has shown that STEM notebook writing may also be a way for students to strengthen their language skills as they develop an understanding of the world around them. STEM notebooks allow teachers to assess students’ understanding and provide the feedback students need for improving their performance. STEM notebooks contain information about the students’ classroom experiences and are encouraged to use them as scientists would, before, during, and after all investigations.
