About Notebook

PocketLab Notebook is a powerful, full-featured, all-in-one digital lab book and lesson library. Anytime, anywhere, teachers and students can collect, visualize, and analyze live experiment data in a way that makes labs come alive.

With Notebook, teachers can create digital lab reports and assign them to students in minutes. Start with a template or build your own from scratch, import existing lessons or other documents, pull in videos and images, add PocketLab data, questions and instructions for students, PhET simulations, data tables, and more.

ABOUT OPENSCIED

OpenSciEd offers NGSS-aligned, locally adaptable, full-course curriculum that supports equitable science learning. It consists of phenomenon-based, three-dimensional units that prioritize student coherence and equitable science sensemaking.

The units are developed with teacher and student voices from across the country informing the selection of the phenomena and the storyline of the unit. Throughout the units, students develop their ability to solve problems, ask and answer questions, and argue from evidence. 

PocketLab Notebook + OpenSciEd Curriculum

PocketLab Notebook + OpenSciEd is a digital, flexible solution for teachers that combines a full middle school science curriculum, hands-on labs and lessons, and an interactive lab notebook.
