🌿 Eco Story Mystery Trail

Students move through short school forest stations to notice tracks, leaves, sounds, shelters, and microhabitats using clipboards, picture prompt cards, and tablet photos or quick sketches. In mixed-age small groups, they share one thing they observed, one way the forest may help a living thing, and one question they now have about caring for the place. The class closes with the project challenge and essential question in a standing circle.
