Approaches to Learning Note taking skills Why do we take notes? • Your brain is where information is stored. • If you use more parts of your brain you are able to remember it better! • And yes, you could actually look over your note before a test! Why do we take notes? On average… • You remember only 10 % of what you see. • You remember 15 % of what you hear. • You remember 40 % of what you actively do. Taking notes activates more parts of your brain so you will remember more! How do we take effective notes? Organize • Keep all your notes in one place! – Use one notebook / class – Put all of your notes in that book • Make a table of contents for your notebook. • Be consistent in the structure of your notes. – Example: underline vocabulary words • They are YOUR notes do what works for you. Summarize • A picture is worth a thousand words… – Draw pictures and diagrams in your notes • Label • Make them as accurate as possible – Do Not copy! • • • • Write down the most important things Vocabulary words Bold words Abbreviate when possible Florence Nightingale’s Early Life • She was born in Florence, Italy on May 12th 1820 • Her father’s name was William Edward Nightingale 1820 - 1910 • Her mother’s name Frances Smith, married W.

Gives the plant structure like the bones do in animals. Vacuole: Acts like a balloon filled with water. If you don’t water a plant the vacuoles collapse and the plant wilts. Nucleus: The brains of the cell that control all of its internal processes like the processing chip in a computer. It is also the part of the plant that passes on traits to the next generation.

Layers of the Earth Core: A combination of solid and liquid made mostly of iron and nickel. Mantle: Three layers that make up the largest portion of the earth. It is made of hot rock under a lot of pressure. Crust: The surface of the earth that is made mostly of Alumina and silica dioxide Luis Alvarez • • • • • • • Born 6-13-1911 In San Francisco CA Died 9-1-1988 – Cancer Married 1936 Geraldine Smithwick Remarried to Janet Landis 1958 Lived in CA and IL Won 1968 Nobel Prize in physics Autobiography: Adventures of a Physicist 1987 Luis Alvarez’s Work • Worked with his son and was involved in the creation of the theory that says that the dinosaurs extinction caused by a meteor • He developed a Hydrogen Bubble Chamber that was capable of detecting subatomic particles • His Nobel Prize was awarded on his work with subatomic particles. • He helped in the development of the atom bomb during WWII. Inside the Atom Nucleus: Small, dense, central part of the atom that contains protons and neutrons. Proton: Positively charged particles found in the nucleus. Neutron: Neutral particle found in the nucleus. Electron: Negatively charged particle found moving around the nucleus. Dr. Charles Richard Drew • Born 6/3/1904 in Washington D.C. • Died in car accident 4/1/1950. • He used his development of blood preservation to organize the first blood banks during and after WWII.
