Field Journal and Young
Observer’s Notebook are two formatted, blank notebooks
that allow all ages to record observations and questions about the natural
world. Use of journals promotes skill development in writing, measuring, and
drawing. It also challenges the observer to concentrate, to take time to look
closely, to question, and to wonder.
