📊 Forest Evidence Pattern Sort

Connect to the natural world Submission Required

Students spread out paired journal entries, sketches, and printed photos from earlier visits and sort them into categories such as habitat features, seasonal changes, stewardship evidence, and feelings. The teacher models how to separate what was observed from what was inferred, then students build a simple class chart with icons, tally marks, and key words to notice patterns and anomalies across the evidence set. Students mark one surprising finding and one piece of evidence they trust most.
