Monthly Journal Assignments
September Assignment: SCIENTIST DRAWING
-
This journal should be completed on the scientist page in the back of the NBC Watershed Explorer notebook.
-
Students can be as creative as they choose if they would like, they can also color their scientist picture using colored pencils or crayons. Check out the cool examples below.
October Assignment: If you did water testing, please answer the first two questions
If you did the Water Droplet Journey lesson please follow the instructions for the journal for that lesson.
Either of these journals can be completed on a lined page in the front of the Watershed Explorer notebook near the macro data sheet. I like to have students start at the beginning of the notebook for scoring purposes.
WATER TESTING LESSON JOURNAL:
Why is it important to test water?
What is one way a scientist could use the results of a water quality test? For example: A scientist gets a positive fecal coliform bacteria test when testing a local river. What could that scientist do next?
If applicable, students will use their Water Droplet Journey sheet to help them create a story, drawing, news report, rap, song, or poem about their travels.
I have included some journals from previous years below to use as a guide.
