Students revisit their petting zoo notebooks, before-during-after tables, and quick sketches to identify recurring triggers, body responses, and emotional shifts. The class builds a shared evidence wall that connects specific observations to the prefrontal cortex, hippocampus, amygdala, dopamine, and serotonin using color-coded sticky notes and sentence stems. Students finish by drafting two possible cause-and-effect statements from their own field evidence.
