Download PDF · 2 pagesPredator stories are often presented as a single chain of cause and effect. A careful account asks what other changes happened at the same time.
Download PDF · 2 pagesSeeing an animal does not require entering its shelter. A coastline can be explored through questions about space, conditions and disturbance.
Download PDF · 2 pagesWhen an animal dies, the movement of nutrients through an ecosystem continues. Scavengers help us think beyond familiar ideas of attractive wildlife.
Download PDF · 2 pagesAn orchid flower is only the visible part of a set of relationships. Its surroundings are part of the story even when they are outside the frame.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA tree's value is not confined to living branches. Details that look untidy to people can be part of the habitat used by other organisms.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA plant can be native, restricted to a region, or at risk. Those descriptions answer different questions and should not be used interchangeably.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA flower visited by an adult butterfly tells only part of its life story. Caterpillars may depend on a different set of plants.
Download PDF · 2 pagesOne colourful afternoon does not describe an entire flowering season. Repeated observations can turn an attractive scene into a useful learning record.
Download PDF · 2 pagesThe Amazon is often represented by an uninterrupted green canopy. A closer reading asks about water, seasons and the scale of the place being described.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA fallen branch can look like the end of a story. In a forest, dead and decaying wood can also provide places used by living organisms.

Download PDF · 2 pagesA photograph of newly planted trees records an action. To understand restoration, ask what changes afterwards and how they are measured.
Download PDF · 2 pagesAn old campsite photograph cannot show whether a fire is permitted there today. A responsible visit begins with the relevant current guidance.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA reef photograph can look like a garden of stone or plants. Learning what corals are changes the questions we ask about the scene.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA familiar group name can conceal large differences. A whale shark photograph should not become a description of every shark.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA cleanup involves more than picking up everything that appears out of place. The area's rules and the limits of a volunteer task matter.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA wetland used by flamingos includes more than the place where a flock is visible. Water and salinity create different surroundings within the wider area.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA delta changes through relationships between water, land and use. One beautiful or damaged-looking image is an incomplete explanation.
Download PDF · 2 pagesA book street can prompt questions about people, reading and the life of a city. Its photograph is a starting point rather than a complete social account.
Download PDF · 2 pagesThe Treasury is a memorable image of Petra, but a single facade is not the whole settlement. Roads, built areas and water also belong in its story.
Download PDF · 2 pagesStone structures and mountains are often described separately. At Machu Picchu, looking at them together broadens the learning questions.
