Wondering if anyone has any templates or examples of notebooks for a citizen scientist project I am starting with my students.
We have begun investigating a growing patch of law on school property that is dead in an unusual pattern. And growing. We started by taking measurements and photos of the impacted area. After reflection, we backed up and disected soil from our garden (which is just across the sidewalk from this area) and some soil from an area of sod that is not near the patch.
My struggle is with keeping this organized in a meaningful way. I only meet with the students for 30 minutes each day. I'd like to build on thier skills and projects at the year progresses. With students selecting their own focus.
Has anyone done a similar project? I'm trying to picture in my mind how it should look to get the best impact.
