Before visiting the location, we'll split up into the following groups:
- Vegetation
 - Animals (bigger than insects)
 - Insects
 - Water (there's a small brook)
 - Rocks, Fossils, and other Nonliving Objects
 - Climate, Weather, and Sky
 
The job on this first visit includes the following:
- Quietly explore.
 - Take notes about the items you see--list types, numbers, and other observations.
 - List questions.
 
That night each team will be asked to list their observations, questions, and other notes on a shared ecosystem Google doc chart.
