Mosquito Season Garden Notebook

Where are the bites happening. What is planted there. What changed.

This is a genuinely useful investigation that also happens to be about a problem children care about intensely. They report bite locations honestly and in detail.

Over a few weeks a pattern usually appears, and it is almost always standing water rather than plants. That result is inconvenient for the plant lesson and we report it anyway, which is the point.

The page has the tracking grid, a site sketch, and a conclusion box. The honest science note for the teacher is included, which is that removing standing water beats every plant and every spray, and that a class which discovers this has learned something more useful than the thing we set out to teach.
