In this lesson:

Pick a small area to do a micro-hike and see what you can find. It can be in your backyard or somewhere in nature. Take five minutes to see all you can see and use your other senses to take in what’s there too!

Cross out the items as you find them. 

-To make it fun and offer some proof please take a picture of what you find. You can be in the picture or not, up to you! You should take a picture of your cards as well as fun photos of what you found and email them to meg@headwatersscienceinstitute.org Please do not check off items that you have seen at other times in your life. This is about what you can find during this scavenger hunt. 

– If you work with a sibling and only submit one card you will have to share the prize! You can each do your own card if you like. 

-You must be 10 and under to submit. We will pick a random winner from the submissions as well as give a prize to the person that finds the most. If we have more than one that finds the most we will randomly pick between the ties for a prize.  

-The prizes will be Headwaters logoed hats or t-shirts (we will work with the winners to get them a size they will use).
