Students will launch their investigation by safely observing the schoolyard, recording evidence, revising a drawing through peer feedback, and comparing what they saw with simple seasonal daylight data.

Students will shape a shared daylight investigation question, make a picture-based prediction, learn to compare observations with seasonal weather data, demonstrate a safe and consistent schoolyard routine, and create the first page of their Daylight Detective Investigation Books.

Students will collect two additional schoolyard observations, distinguish firsthand evidence from weather reporter information, and complete dated Daylight Detective book pages. They will organize their records and seasonal daylight data into a picture chart, identify differences or missing information, and revise their prediction before the showcase phase.

Students will present their Daylight Detective Investigation Books and team evidence charts to families and a local weather reporter, answer the essential question with evidence, and reflect on their learning.
