Are you using tab books for science? This simple tool is a great way for students to learn and recall new vocabulary for any science topic. Whether it’s parts of a flower, animal groups, types of forces, parts of the digestive system, or naming celestial bodies, tab books are a flexible teaching tool for keeping learners organized.
What is a tab book?
A tab book (sometimes also known as a flip book or a flap book) is a folding interactive template that students can make. The front displays topic-specific words (usually 5-6) on tabs that can be lifted to reveal their definition underneath.
Benefits of using tab books
➡️Hands-on learning – students are making something whilst reviewing key vocabulary.
➡️Students can write their own word definitions or glue pre-prepared labels, allowing for differentiation.
➡️Suitable for interactive notebooks or science journals.
➡️Easy to customize from a template.
