Teachers, save “Nature Science Journal: Task 2” to assign it to your class.

Task 2: Nature Illustration Activity: Go on a nature walk (outside in your neighborhood). As you observe objects in nature, ask your child to look for patterns in the objects. Choose one object and make an observation drawing in the Nature Scientist Journal. This activity can be completed using paper you have on hand, the template is not required. Use the drawing tools to make an observation drawing. (You can even take a picture and directly put it on the journal by clicking the camera button on the left to compare.) Write one sentence to name the object. Write one sentence to describe the pattern in the object. If a child needs more support, use this sentence frame and ask the child to fill in the blanks: It is a _____________. Its pattern is _________.
