Life Cycle: Observe a Change Safely

A short observation log turns a photo series or adult-approved plant observation into dated evidence rather than a memory-only retell.

Life Cycle: Observe a Change Safely

Name:                              
Date:              

Today I am practising: recording an observable change across time

1

Choose a safe plant or teacher-provided photo series.

2

Draw what you see on the first date.

3

Write or dictate one visible detail.

4

Observe again later or view the next photo.

5

Circle one change and one thing that stayed the same.

6

Tell an adult what evidence helped you notice the change.

Grown-up guide
  1. Use a planted seed, approved classroom observation, or photo sequence; do not disturb wildlife.
  2. Keep the same viewpoint and label each observation with a date.
  3. Separate what was observed from a prediction about what may happen next.
