What the week actually is

Field science is the antidote to the worksheet. Water samples, soil tests, species counts, weather logs — real data the child collected, which means an error is theirs to find rather than the book's to hide.

Day by day

  1. Collect real samples from the site
  2. Test and record
  3. Compare against last year's data
  4. Find the anomaly and argue it
  5. Showcase: the report
