| 2 | Pond Sit | Be very quiet to see, smell, and hear what is found at a pond community. There’s more than what meets the eye. |
| 3 | Tools of the Trade | Think how adaptations play important roles in an organism’s life by helping them build a home and survive in a particular environment. |
| 4 | Food Chain | Discover relationships between different organisms and their environment, and how these create a flow of energy. |
| 5 | Who’s been to the Water? | Use clues to discover who has visited the water. Tracks, scat, and other markings can help you discover who has been to the water. |
| 6 | Perspective Sketches | Discuss perspective and create a 3D habitat to place in your journal at school. |
