Assignment:
Observation Report Guide,
0. Read this entire set of directions before starting.
1. Locate a spot where you can comfortably observe nature for periods of at least thirty minutes at a time, preferably outdoors. Take notes! If you have difficulty finding a spot where you feel safe, let me know and we'll meet on campus and sit together.
2. Conduct an observation for at least thirty minutes.
First, calm yourself for at least three minutes. The Easy Guide to Nature Observation has some good ideas for preparing yourself to observe. [If you're pressed for time, skip down to the section "Practice Sensory Awareness".]
For your final observation, take notes that describe the following:
a. What changes in the wildlife did you see from the first time you observed?
b. What sources of possible pollution did you observe?
c. Do you see any evidence of any kind of technology that could cope with that pollution? [What has already been done, not what could be done]
d. Now, what can you see that might have been brought to your place from across an ocean? What kinds of pollution might have been generated in that process?
e. Finally, what do you see that in terms of pollution or any other problem that you might like to act upon, either soon or later?
Important: Describe what you see but also
• refer to the readings,
• draw some conclusions about your observations, and
• connect those conclusions clearly with the main themes of the course: the flow of energy, the cycle of materials, and the interconnection of all life.
3. Complete the Observation Report Form.
