Assignment Due: Please hand in your Nature Journals with your first Phenology Observation in it. Make sure it is labeled: Phenology #1 and you have it dated. Introduce Pigeon River Project OBJECTIVE:
Pigeon River: SEE - THINK - WONDER Open your computers. Look at the different images of the Pigeon River area with your group, discuss what you see and post stickies for each image. Repeat for Think and Wonder. Water Monitoring: Use this Jamboard and the water quality information to answer the questions. Do Now: Please get out your Nature Journal and pick up the checklist on yellow paper. and have it ready to make an entry. We will practice doing a phenology nature observation in the garden. This is practice and a good time to really observe the pollinators in the garden. Your phenology project observations should be done by you at your phenology nature spot. The next due date for Phenology observation #2 is due in two weeks.
1. Garden observations 2. Analyzing our Biodiversity Data 3. 1. Share observations while in the garden.
3. Enter our Kiwanis Field Data Collection into your Portfolio
4. Question Brainstorm JAMBOARD Healthy environments often have a lot of different plant, animal and aquatic and terrestrial insect species living there = (High biodiversity) Do Now:
Learning Goals: Analyzing and Interpreting biodiversity of plant species richness data to look for patterns. Explaining from evidence !!! REMINDER !!! Your first Phenology observation is due tomorrow in your Nature Journal. To be handed in. Class Review of the Field Work Rubric - Ladder of Feedback: Good things, Questions, Concerns, Suggestions Analyze and Interpret our Data Kiwanis Biodiversity
Ticket out - tell me two things about your phenology observation spot. Example of our method of keeping track of which species we had already counted in an area.
Field Trip to Kiwanis Park to collect data on the the biodiversity of plant species measured as species richness. We compared species in the lawn to the native flower riparian area next to the river.
Paper biodiversity data sheets Do Now: Please go to Google Classroom and follow the directions on the most recent assignment to make yourself a copy of the Student Portfolio website. Make sure to share it with Kimberly and me.

Driving Question: How can we investigate the health of a particular environment or ecosystem? Learning goals:
1. Get your Scientific Observation of Plants sheet out and grab your notebook. 2. Review the assignment - Science starts with careful observation. Observation is a skill you will need to practice to get better at it.
Volunteers and cold call to share their plant and observations, THINK and WONDER. The audience should listen attentively and then can add ideas for any of the parts: SEE THINK WONDER. For each plant we observe together, let's consider these questions.
Phenology Observation #1 is due by Friday, Sept 23. Question Brainstorm - QFT Protocol: Native plants are an important part in a healthy environment Groups will choose three questions they think are most important to investigate and star them on their sheet. Each group choose a spokesperson to share out
How can we make it a fair test? What can we do to make sure we are not biased in our study? How many samples do we need to make sure we trust our data? Do Now:
1. Think about how much time you spent in nature or some green space yesterday. Where was it? Describe what the place was like and how you felt. Share with a partner at your table. Be ready to share out, I will cold call several students to share. Revisit and revise our 4C's thinking routines. Modified gallery walk of parts of the article: Random groups of three. Do four rotations for each Connect, Challenge, Change Each group of three writes at least 2 sticky notes per station for each section of the 4 C's FIRST four stations, focus on Connect only. Repeat for Challenge and Change Take several minutes to add connections, challenges and changes to your sheet. What you write should be what you think, but you are allowed to be inspired by the other notes you read on the walls. Observations for science Practice using: SEE THINK WONDER
