Intervention Summary

SNUDLE is a science notebook that provides students space to collect, organize, and display observations and data; space to reflect and make sense of inquiry experiences; and multiple opportunities to demonstrate understanding at every stage of the investigation through text answers, data tables, photo uploads, and drawing tools, and receive formative, interactive teacher feedback on their work. SNUDLE is intended to target elementary school students, particularly those with disabilities, to support their active science learning.
