🐐 Petting Zoo Emotion Tracker

Students use a structured field notebook tool during the petting zoo visit to record before-during-after observations of thoughts, choices, body sensations, emotions, and environmental triggers. They add quick sketches, time markers, and short notes about possible links to the amygdala, hippocampus, prefrontal cortex, dopamine, and serotonin. Back in a brief closing huddle, students compare one surprising pattern with a partner and note one question they want to investigate next.
