Your notes are a reminder of what you learned in class Taking good

notes can help you succeed in science These tips will help you take

better notes

• Be an active listener Listen for important concepts Pay attention

to words, examples, and/or diagrams your teacher emphasizes

• Write your notes as clearly and concisely as possible The following

symbols and abbreviations may be helpful in your note-taking

• Use a symbol such as a star (★) or an asterisk (*) to emphasis

important concepts Place a question mark (?) next to anything that

you do not understand

• Ask questions and participate in class discussion

• Draw and label pictures or diagrams to help clarify a concept

Note-Taking Tips

Note-Taking Don’ts

• Don’t write every word Concentrate on the main ideas and concepts.

• Don’t use someone else’s notes—they may not make sense.

• Don’t doodle It distracts you from listening actively.

• Don’t lose focus or you will become lost in your note-taking.
