UPDATED 8/29/24 We think you will like the added features, new layout, and questions.
Included in the Print and Google Slides Download
- Video Tutorial
- Describes ideas for using the pages.
- Explains how to create a Science Brain Folder for Phenomenon Based Units.
- Investigation Breakdown: Discovering the Key Parts of Our Experiment PDF
- Google Slides Version of Worksheet
- One with text boxes for students to record answers.
- Editable version for teachers to modify to fit their needs.
The worksheet comes in PDF and Google Slides. The link for the slides is in the download. We added "Type Here" text boxes to make it easy for teachers to add information ahead of time or for students to complete digitally as a paperless assignment. It also includes an editable version. Please note that the editable version does not contain clip art.
This activity is designed to correlate with Kimberly Scott Science and STEM units but can be integrated with any curriculum. The page margins are set so they can be hole-punched without losing space for the students to write.
The new science standards encourage students to take the lead in their learning. Lessons start with guided questions, which lead to more questions. Notebooking or journaling is a great way to keep everything organized as students investigate the world around them. In our class, we call them Science Brain Folders. They help us organize our new thoughts, vocabulary, concepts, and conclusions before, during, and after the lab.
We compiled all of our favorite notebooking strategies into a bundle.

Reviews
Hi Leigha,
I am so happy this worksheet helped your students make the connection. It can be challenging, but the more they do it, the quicker they will identify the variables. It is great to use at the start of a lab or when students are writing their own experiments. Thank you for sharing feedback.
Yours in Science,
