Seven Steps
Select a field location. You do not need to go far, this can be close to where you live, but does need to have organisms. It can be a park, yard or basement areas with spiders and insects. You are putting into practice the seven steps, beginning with selecting the site and planning what you will be doing. Consider safety with each step.
You are capturing information for each step and this could be notes, captioned photos, and/or a video. We will have more specific field assignments in upcoming guides.
Include in your notes for a single location:
-
Numbered 1 through 7, information for each of the seven steps to begin work at a field site: planning/site selection criteria, scan of location, climate, topography, as well as information on observable biodiversity, ecology, and conservation biology.
-
your observations can be notes, labeled photos, video with commentary, or a combination of media. If the file is large, it may help to host on another site (like YouTube, Vimeo, etc.) and upload the link to Canvas.
