Earth's systems is a great NGSS standard to take outside. Ss can investigate how different spheres interact.

Thinking it offers opportunities to think about what the problem/? is. How it came to be, what is the cause?

The best phenomena is from outside. Hissing cockroaches, a great way to engage Ss in asking questions.

Ss are naturally curious and wonder about the world. Taking NGSS outside lets them explore and figure out how the world works.
