To explore the importance of making observations teachers headed outside to make observations of the school yard,

collect specimens, and record their observations.http://www.drdianateachertraining.com


Teachers returned to the classroom and had time to study and draw their specimens. We discussed the importance of using our senses in making observations, patterns in nature, and plant and

animal kingdom.http://www.drdianateachertraining.com
