This activity can be used as an introduction to the concept of observation. Observations skills are critical to the field of science, among other things! Knowing how to pay attention to what's is going on around you is an important life skill.
Making Basic Phenology Observations
This activity is meant as an introduction to phenology, the study of recurring plant and animal life cycle stages. Students make scientific observations of plants and record their observations and record them for Nature's Notebook.
Habitat Scavenger Hunt
This lesson can be used as an introduction to the concept of observation. Observations skills are critical to the field of science among other things! Knowing how to pay attention to what's is going on around you is an important life skill. Taking the time to make observations is beneficial to health and wellness too. It also introduces the concept of phenology through the observation of plants and animals in a habitat garden.
