Independent and Dependent VariablesInteractive Notebook Page
Includes
• foldable for interactive notes
• two exit tickets
This product includes two versions of notes. One with all notes filled in (except the interactive parts) and one with key words left blank so students can actively participate.
To print the notes to make a booklet, print the two pages you want two sided and select “flip on the short side.” You could also print and copy 1 to 2 sided on a copier.
There is no cutting for students, only a simple fold. Students could also color as they take notes. I find that students are more engaged when they have something to color.
