Walk on the Wild Side Many animals have adapted to living near people. List all sightings in your journal. Draw a picture and describe the animal's size, color, sounds, actions, and diet. Walk slowly around the yard. Just record what you see in your journal.
Many plants make great homes for animals.
Find a busy plant or bush in your schoolyard and look for signs of animal residents. There's more to soil than meets the eye. Scoop up some soil and spread it on white paper. Return any critters to their schoolyard home. Then put the soil in a sandwich bag.
