Procedure We went to the outdoor Break-O-Day learning center. We had to find an area for our square of life We investigated our squares for non living, living, plants, and animals. We used meter sticks, dowel rods, and yarn to make our square of life. We looked for living, nonliving, animals and plants in our square of life. First, we used meter sticks and put them on the ground to measure. Then we put dowel rods into the ground at the corners. Next, we wrapped the yarn around the rods. Then, we had to investigate our squares to make sure that we make it perfectly. After that, we had to work with our people the were helping with our group.
