Each day in the science center, designate a child as the class pet observer. Provide a class pet observation chart for the child to record the pet's actions. Divide the chart into rows and columns. Each row represents a day of the week and each column represents an action. For example, on Monday the child observes the pet mouse and checks off an action that applies such as sleeping, burrowing, running or squeaking.
