Go exploring for different colours and textures of soil. Layer them into an extra large jar with air holes in the lid and add some worms. Watch what happens next.
Foxes, deer, sheep, and wheelie bins can all leave trails. Find one and track down its owner.
Find something hard, soft, sticky, crumbly, silly, cool, brown, tiny, massive, smelly, mean, round, flat, strange, normal, straight, flying, underneath and something new.
Imagine all the things around you have never been discovered before. What would you name them? Start a small field notebook and fill it with sketches of your newly named findings.
Let a dog take you for a walk (you can even go on all fours if you like!) and then think about how you sensed the world differently.
Investigate the murder of an animal
Next time you find a dead animal, draw a white line around its body and find out who killed it, how, when, where, and why.
Choose two kinds of bird that you can see in a park or on a wire. Ask passers by which of the two birds they like most and why. Are people prejudiced against one of the birds?
