Earth Science Lapbook...

We haven't made a lapbook in quite some time. (You can view some of the ones created during my daughter's preschool and kindergarten years.) But, for whatever reason, a lapbook called out to us to be made over the course of our recent earth science study. Here's what's been made so far (still have minerals, fossils and few other things to do, but she wanted to get back to astronomy, so we did.)

 

**The cover has not been decorated/created yet,

thus that is ommitted here for now.**

 

First opening of lapbook.


Left hand side with circle book holder  opened (circle book at the top),

vocab (at bottom) partially opened up, and middle types of plate movement opened a bit.


Vocabulary (top) flaps and mini-books made while studying 3 types of rocks.


 

Then, you turn the right hand page to reveal another two-page spread:

 

Left hand side flap is down (closed) with tactile worksheet my daughter did showing.


Flap opened up to show another worksheet she put together (top) as well as a "pie" she wrote up from the notes she took while studying gemstones.(Need to make a GEMSTONES label for this still... oops!)


Right hand page... yep, on volcanoes. Shows types of volcanoes "flaps" on the left, foldable on the right.


Volcano types flaps opened up one level.


Volcano types flaps opened to the second level, as well as the foldable diagram of inside a volcano.


 

Turn the lapbook page again and we come to this next two-page spread:


 

Left hand page with the booklet opened up to reveal the 4-stage drawing of how a geyser works.


 

Turn that illustration sheet page and the written narration is below:


 

Right hand page:

Each illustration on the movement of a glacier down a mountain can be lifted.

 

As seen here:

With short informational sentences on the movement.


 

And, though we don't have enough in the lapbook on CRYSTALS to show here (yet), my daughter and husband did do the science project together, creating a gorgeous crystal garden.

This was taken about a week after the garden was formed, thus the crystals started to weigh down and fall off. But, it still holds a place on our countertop!


 

And, we may return soon to earth studies (and add more to the lapbook) or it may be a few years before we're back to it (I try to follow the WTM rotation of science loosely)... we'll have to wait and see!

Great stuff! We do notebooking but I've wanted to do a lapbook for each of our units. Where did you find all the graphics? Did get them from some kind of book?
I love the handwritten stuff and the graphics. A perfect combination. I'm sure you're kids won't be forgetting what they learned anytime soon!
Bless you,
Michelle

I posted an answer to your question about photobucket over on the front porch. Thanks for stopping by! I love your lapbooks and we have been studying volcanos so I will have to show my son!

Blessings,

Great Stuff Angi!

I always love looking at your lapbook/notebook stuff. Now that my girls are a bit older I should probably try to tackle these again.
Thanks for checking up on me. I'm fine, just crazy busy. Racing season, gardening, still schooling through summer, just trying to keep on top of everything. Ha! Like that's ever going to happen! Did you get my scallop recipes?
Love,
Me

WTM?

Posted by Anonymous
Some ladies on the OFE group talked about lapbooks. I had never heard of them, so I Googled it and your blog was the first hit. That is how I found your site, however, what is WTM? I don't typically come here, and honestly I don't know if I will be able to remember where to come back to, so could you email me about this at x_quisit_1@yahoo.com. Or you can visit my blog at www.heartofgod.wordpress.com. Thanks so much!
