- Students will observe a natural phenomena on campus, document it with at least one picture (to be stored on a flash drive), ask themselves as many questions about it as possible (what is it? why is it here? is it dangerous? is it beneficial? are the questions students came up with in class), and report on it in an informal manner during our next class.
Example of the Lilly Leaf Beetle found a couple of years ago in my backyard:
An invasive species, the Lilly Leaf Beetle was introduced on the American continent in the 1940s, first in Canada, and has made its way down through New England, all the way to NY state where it arrived recently. Unchecked, it will completely destroy garden lilies.
