Leaf detectives
Compare two fallen leaves. Sketch their shapes, feel their edges and name one difference you can actually observe.
A pocket-sized nature adventure
Small wonders. Big questions.
Start with a slow look
A tiny world is right here.
A leaf, a puddle and a quiet patch of ground can become a whole field of questions. We will sketch what we notice, compare our observations and choose one small thing to investigate. There is no prize for finding the biggest creature: careful noticing is the adventure.
Choose your first question
Three tiny field stations.
Ground explorers
Watch a small patch without disturbing it. Record movement, colours and textures. Draw a question beside your sketch.
Weather watchers
Notice light, shade and the sky. Compare your observations with a partner before making a prediction about what might change.
Draw first. Identify later.
Meet the tiny neighbours.
A spotted visitor
How many marks can you see? Draw the pattern before giving it a name.
A slow traveller
What changes as it moves? Watch from the same spot and compare two sketches.
A wiggly walker
Which details repeat? Notice shapes, colours and the direction of movement.
Our reflection prompt
The question worth keeping
What did you notice that you had never noticed before?

Take one question outside.
Small observations make a field notebook worth returning to.
