What kind of things could they observe for when using the map when they go home or come to school? Idea Book Idea
Paste things in their Idea Book they find on the way home or to school using the map to mark the location of the discovery. What could they do with this information? What kind of data could they compile? How could they share this with children and youth at another location?
