Submission Required
Students revisit field notes, sunlight sketches, soil observations, wind notes, water-flow maps, and nature journal entries from the site walk. Using color-coded sticky notes and a team evidence board, they sort findings into user needs, site conditions, plant growth needs, and human impacts. The class then builds a shared criteria-and-constraints anchor chart for the outdoor science lab, using grade-level vocabulary such as morphology, biodiversity, natural resources, microhabitat, and stewardship.
