Benefits of using Cornell Note outlines for your students
- Notes are organized
- Students can quickly identify key words and concepts
- Notes can be used as a study guide
How to Use Sandy’s Science Cornell Notes
1. Start with an outline
- There are 51 topics available (Nature of Science, Matter, Space) – try this one for free - Scale of the Universe Cornell Notes #10
- Standard and Composition Sizes are both included
2. Use resources to fill in
- I always try the textbook first. Ours does not have much but it's a good start. Have students fill in what they can of the notes.
- Next I use videos, simulations games etc. Each set of Cornell Notes has suggested resources such as:
- Study JAMS: The Universe
- TED Ed: How small are we in the scale of the universe?
- TED Ed: How to measure extreme distances
- Crazy Games: Scale of the Universe 2
- Powers of 10
- Khan Academy – Scientific Notation
- BuzzFeed: 27 Facts That Will Make You Question Your Existence
- BuzzFeed: The True Size Of The Universe As We Know It
- Animaniacs: Yakko's Universe Song
- Clint Black: Galaxy Song
3. Check student’s answers or use the answer key for direct instruction for students that need differentiation.
4. Glue into an interactive notebook.
Students can refer back to these
notes as homework, a reference for an exit ticket/formative assessment or as a
study guide for a summative assessment.
