Continue until you have listed all five.  \n• Today, you will be walking and making your observations independently. Inquiry Activity One (30 minutes)  \n• Give each student a clipboard with the scavenger hunt paper – make sure to give out several versions with the order mixed up (so students go to different stations at different times)– and a pencil so that they can record their observations and/or answer questions as they go.  \n• You are going to look for the card that matches the color and shape at the top of yo","cbCait3F0J5vrncV","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCait3F0J5vrncV","pdf",7541140,75,"English","# Sensory Observation Scavenger Hunt\n## Aim and Summary\n## Standards\n## Materials and Vocabulary\n## Procedure: Day One\n## Procedure: Day Two\n## Closing Circle and Tasting\n# Common Core State Standard Extensions","[{\"question\":\"What is the aim of the Sensory Observation Scavenger Hunt for Grade 2?\",\"answer\":\"Students orient themselves in the garden through a sensory scavenger hunt, looking for signs that guide different sensory observations.\"},{\"question\":\"What materials are needed to run the scavenger hunt?\",\"answer\":\"The lesson uses laminated, color- and shape-coded cards, Velcro stickers, garden stakes, clipboards, scavenger hunt worksheets, pencils, and tasting items.\"},{\"question\":\"How do students complete the activity across the two days?\",\"answer\":\"Day One focuses on an opening circle, independent inquiry at mixed station orders, and a closing circle where students share observations; Day Two includes garden work with attention to senses, followed by a recap and a tasting with descriptive sharing.\"}]","Edible Schoolyard NYC Garden Curriculum - Second Grade - Sensory Hunt (September) - Garden scavenger hunt lesson | PDF",1790593140,189]
