Observation Skills and 5 Senses
Ready, set, explore! Observations and using our five senses are an important part of life. Observations are the action or process of observing something carefully or in order to gain information. To do so we use our 5 senses! We will practice observation skills and engage our 5 senses while exploring. What will we observe in all the ecosystems at Spirit Lake? Let’s see what we can learn!
