Research has proven that students learn best when notes are written in their own words. This is partly because students have to think more clearly about the topic when they have to put it into words whichthey would not do if they copy from a PowerPoint. It is also because they are more likely to understand it later if it is in their own words. This notebook encourages students to write their own notes whilst guiding them on what to write the notes about.
It is designed to be used alongside other learning activities about the topic. It can also be used as a revision aid where students can try to complete the pages from memory.
Biology is a subject that benefits from a good imagination in order to visualise the structures and processes involved. The high quality illustrations used in this notebook enable students to develop good visualisations to help them learn.
