6. Create Your Own! Identify the type of plant Identify location of the plant Identify site impacts Take photos of the plant from the same angle, consistent distance from the plant, and same camera settings each time Note the date and time of your observation, and make a sketch of what the plant looks like Make sure you take photos through the various stages of Green-Up http://science-edu.larc.nasa.gov/GLOBE/phenology.php
