FOSS Pathways Grade PK Observing Nature Collection
Description
"The Observing Nature Module builds understanding of the place of trees at school and in the community. Students investigate the phenomena of trees and leaves, the animals that make their home in leaf litter, the soil and rocks around the roots, and the wood that comes from trees.
Throughout this module students engage in science and engineering practices by asking questions, participating in collaborative investigations, observing, recording, and interpreting data to build explanations, and obtaining information from photographs. They have opportunities to draw and label their observations, and to share their ideas verbally with their peers and adults.
