The BioEd website at Baylor University's College of Medicine brings together slide-sets, teaching documents, podcasts, and other materials designed for people teaching the biological sciences at the college level. One of their recent additions is this document titled "Naturalist Journals." This compact PDF was written by Gregory L. Vogt and Nancy P. Moreno and is designed to teach students how to collect and record data while in the field. The document includes suggestions for sketching objects in the field, along with a brief summary of data coordination, and a how-to section on collecting ground-based photographs and digital images. The document is rounded out with a naturalist journal practice sheet, which is perfect for getting acclimated to such techniques before heading out into the field.
