Lesson Overview
This activity fosters students’ sense of curiosity and can be done indoors, outdoors, or a combination of the two. In this lesson, students will view a virtual presentation, then bring an activity sheet outdoors for a scavenger hunt; looking for a variety of natural objects that can be found and studied during the winter, such as evergreen plants, deciduous tree and shrub twigs, different types of lichen, and animal tracks. As a bonus activity, students are encouraged to develop an inquiry question to answer while making observations outdoors.
