Finding and Sharing Outdoor Objects

Finding and Sharing Outdoor Objects

Learning Goals: Outdoor Learning, Knowledge Building, Communication, Inquiry

    • Take students outside to explore the natural environment.
    • During this exploration, encourage the students to examine the natural environment  and to collect found objects  such as leaves, branches, seeds etc.
    • Facilitate a knowledge building circle where students share their findings, reflections and questions. 
    • These discussions can be used as a springboard to promote inquiry that builds on what they know and what they would like to learn more about.
