This year I'm taking my science students on a fantastic journey of teaching them Environmental Systems and Societies, a 2 year long course. It's a science course with sociology combined. Not only will I teach environmental science, but the goal is to teach empathy for the planet and local communities.
We are going to go outside! This is not a common practice anymore in schools. Outside environment is not appreciated and I'm going to change this with this course at our school. My students will learn field techniques associated with dating and logging observations from hiking and/or outside experiments where they will use these notebooks to record data that they can use later.
I remember being in college geology courses and my favorite book material to buy was a "rite in the rain." Not only is it incredibly durable, convenient and necessary in the field, it gives you that feeling of importance. My students don't ever get nice things that are theirs to use and keep, it's usually always something borrowed. Once my students have used their notebooks to analyze and develop solutions for various practices, I would hope that they would keep their books for the memories of what they did in this course which will connect them to appreciate what they have learned.
