Virtual Field Trip: Safari to Botswana
Join me as we head to Botswana for a special virtual safari!
We’ll explore, sketch, and take notes on elephants and their behavior, all virtually.
If you haven't started adding sketches to your field journals yet, don't worry—this session is going to focus on observational skills and recording data in the field. I might do a sketch or two, but definitely demonstrate survey counts and behavior tallies. Or just sit back and enjoy watching elephant antics. If you’re shy, don’t worry—we don’t require anyone to share their work and you can remain completely anonymous and worry-free!
RESOURCES FROM THIS VIRTUAL FIELD TRIP:
Practice identifying three basic age groups by learning to sketch them, thus learning their key features.
