Science Tab Book

Here's our creation. It is a Stick Book/Tab Book as described in Cyndy Regeling's book The Ultimate Lapbook Handbook.

Kori labeled the tabs with the names of the branches of science we had talked about. Raiden painted the letters on the cover. I punched two holes and there's a rubber band and a popsicle stick holding the pages all together. I love the simplicity of such a binding. It is suited to step-by-step projects.



Inside, we stuck pictures and words that remind us of the various topics covered in that branch of science. I printed off a slew of free clip art images I found at DiscoverySchool.com. The kids coloured as we discussed and categorized. They had to dig through our new science encyclopedia to look for where to place a particular picture or word at times. How else to get comfortable flipping through such a big book? Of course, we found many more interesting and wonderful things that wouldn't fit into our book, but that's ok. The whole ideas behind the book project was to make them think and explore.
