Send small teams across a meadow, shoreline, or schoolyard to photograph and geo-tag what they find. Every observation lands on a shared team map the moment it's logged.
How to build it
-
Set the study area
Drop waypoints on the habitats you want covered — the pond, the hedgerow, the rot log — each with a photo gate.
-
Make the teams
Create a team per group and hand each its join code. Team visibility keeps collections separate until the plenary.
-
Run the field session
Pupils photograph finds into the field log as they go; every entry is geo-tagged automatically and appears on the team map.
-
Review together
Back in class, open the map: every observation, who logged it, and where. Export-worthy evidence of a morning's science.
For example
Year 8 biology: five teams, one meadow, 90 minutes — 140 geo-tagged invertebrate photos mapped by micro-habitat.
