Students are challenged to slow themselves down to make careful observations about what they see, smell, hear, and taste. Self awareness gained and observation skills built during this activity will be invaluable during fieldwork as students must slow down in order to closely observe species and habitat at their study site.
Although far less tasty, this works well with everyday tasks like writing homework down or walking to lunch or opening lockers.... There's ample opportunity to slow down these days!
