Each
student
will
keep
a
science
journal
during
each
of
the
four
seasons.
Students
will
record
observations
of
the
general
outdoor
environment
they
visit
and
then
will
make
observations
of
one
specific
item
from
the
habitat
in
each
season.
At
the
end
of
the
school
year,
students
will
make
comparisons
of
their
seasonal
drawings
and
share
the
results
with
the
class.

Students
will
learn
about
magnification
and
how
a
magnifying
lens
works.
They
will
examine
a

of
different
objects,
first
without
a
magnifier
and
then
with
a
magnifier,
and
compare
what
they
observe.
They
will
practice
observing
details
of
these
objects
with
magnifying
lens.
The
purpose
of
this
activity
is
for
students
to
learn
about
observation
skills
and
how

In
this
activity,
students
will
record
a
list
of
things
they
already
know
about
hummingbirds
and
a
list
of
things
they
would
like
to
learn
about
hummingbirds.
Then
they
will
conduct
research
to
find
answers
to
their
questions.
Using
their
new
knowledge,
each
student
will
make
a
hummingbird
out
of
art
supplies.
Finally,

Students
will
be
introduced
to
different
species
of
macroinvertebrates.
They

insect
looks
the
way
it
does.
Then
students
will
make
observations
of
macroinvertebrates
in
an
aquarium
in
their
classroom.
For
an
optional
extension,
teachers
can
take
students
to
a
local
stream
or
pond

A
learning
activity
for
the
Scoop
on
Soils
book
in
the
Elementary
GLOBE
Series.
Each
student
will
make
predictions
about
the
properties
of
various
soil
samples.
Then
they
will
examine
several
types
of
soils
and
record
their
observations.
Next,
they
will
learn
about
soil
profiles
and
horizons
by
both
examining
a
soil
sample
in
a
jar
and
by
creating
a
soil
profile
flip
chart.
