This document provides an overview of a lesson that focuses on building knowledge about observing nature through reading, discussion, and reflection. Students will reflect on and discuss what they learned from previous readings about observing nature, engage in conversations with peers to share and get feedback on ideas, and work on paraphrasing and summarizing each other's perspectives. The overall goal is for students to develop a deeper understanding of how observations of nature can be recorded and shared with others.
