Supplies

To-Do Date: Feb 15 at 12:00pm

You will need a field notebook for taking notes while you are in the field.  I have handed out a hardbound journal to students in lab. 

For writing and sketching, gather together the following:

    • pencil
    • eraser
    • colored pencils - basic colors fine, nothing fancy required.  If you prefer watercolors, that is fine too.
    • small pencil sharpener

Handouts to paste into your Field Journal

We will be using John Muir Laws instructions from his book How to Teach Nature Journaling. You will want to print out and paste both these handouts into your field journal

Miscellaneous 

I recommended getting a plastic bag to hold your field notebook and supplies.  This will keep everything together when you are ready to go observe, and will also protect your notebook from rain or spills.

Finally, you will need something to take pictures with.  The camera on your phone is perfect.
