Serc: Mn Step: Schoolyard Bio Blitz

Curated by ACT

For this activity, middle schoolers visit a small section of the schoolyard and record observations in a scientific journal. They will observe different things as the school year progresses, including ecological relationships, human impact on nature, and movements of the sun and moon, as well as collect samples from nature. Includes a link to an excellent 5-page lesson plan handout from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
