The students and teacher will go for walks around the community in different months looking at how habitats change in each season and the response of the animals that live there. Discussions will include how people and animals adapt to the changes around them. Investigations can start from these common experiences and work towards narrowing down what season it is when there are signs of more than one at a time.
