My science students got back to nature today with a trip to our garden. Each student was given a string and instructed to make a circle. Within the circle they were to find a plant to focus on. They journaled about the following observations: What was the color, texture, and scent of the plant? Did this plant provide shelter for an animal? What requirements did this plant need to stay alive? The students also sketched or took a leaf rubbing of the plant. We had a great morning, taking science outdoors!
