Science Journal

Hi guys!
Every single scientist from any moment of human history has had a Science Journal to record
observations, notes and findings. These are difficult times, we’re in the middle of a pandemic
and I would prefer to give you a notebook for it but it’s better to go digital by now. So this will
be your Science Journal, here you’ll take note of the different CONCEPTS and BRIEF
EXPLANATIONS learned in class. Also you can include photos, internet images, graphic
organizers, etc that help you understand the subject better -some times I’ll let you know when
is a good moment for including them, some others you’ll make the decision-. You can also add
links to videos or to websites that make you understand more easily (they can be in English or
in your native language).
Please keep in mind that this is a learning tool: you can use it to study for exams, prepare a
presentation, design an experiment, do homework and more.

Let’s make this academic year a fantastic one!

Mr. Fernando.

Task 1

Make This Journal Yours!

Personalize this journal by…
1. Changing the font, pick your favorite font and main color (select something darker
than this, let red for emphasis ).
2. Changing the background color (choose something easy to read that does not make
your eyes tired)
3. Inserting a picture of yourself, and writing about you.
 4. Inserting a picture of your favorite topic in science.

5. Inserting a picture of a science fun fact you like.

Understanding the format of the journal

Include the topic and the date. Then include the notes/ concepts and pictures/links as shown
in the example on the next page.

My name is Mai. I’m from Japan. And I came to Thailand this year. So I can’t speak English
well.
My hobbies are reading books, watching anime, and playing video games.
