1.43 Walk in These Tracks
A one-on-one mentoring lesson from the National FFA “Grow Your PALS” Program Guide (Environmental Science unit) in which a mentor reads the book “Big Tracks, Little Tracks” and helps a younger student learn to identify animal tracks. Students match pictures of tracks (cow, duck, bear) to the correct animal and then make their own tracks using play dough and plastic toy animals.
