MILK FROG UNIVERSITY / OUR SCHOOLS
Nature & Life Sciences
Start with a single lotus leaf. Walk lightly, ask carefully, and discover the connections that make a place a living home.

MILK FROG UNIVERSITY / SCHOOL PROFILE01 / OUR SCHOOL
Learning starts with curiosity.
Our school reads the campus as a nature notebook, one page at a time. The pond’s surface, shade beside a footpath and small tracks after rain remind us that no living thing exists in isolation.
Learning begins with quiet observation, then moves into recording, comparison and explanation. We ask small questions that can be explored, distinguish what we see from what we suppose, and consider more sustainable habits with respect for living things.
Come a little closer, and tread a little lighter. The details of the world are worth getting to know.
02 / LEARNING PATH
From a small question to a finished project.
Observe · Practise · Create together
-
BEGIN / NOTICE
Learn to look quietly
Start with a familiar leaf. Record the time, location and conditions, developing habits that respect the life you observe.
-
EXPLORE / QUESTION
Make observations comparable
Plan repeated observations and check sources. Distinguish facts, interpretations and unknowns so explanations have a basis.
-
CREATE / CARE
Turn understanding into care
Make your notes into a field guide or develop a sustainable campus proposal, putting close observation to work for a shared home.
03 / COURSE CATALOGUE
Make room for what interests you.
4 themed courses · Explore at your own pace
Ecology: A Pond of Connections
Explore relationships between lotus leaves, water, insects and shoreline plants. Build a relationship map with sources, clearly separating established links from questions that need more investigation.
Your projectA pond relationship map and sourced species notes.
Life Science: A Leaf at a Time
Observe a common plant over time to explore its form and growth. Practise asking questions, finding reliable sources and explaining the relationship between a leaf and its environment.
Your projectA plant observation file and three questions for further study.
A Campus Nature Journal
Design a fixed route and a consistent record sheet. Note weather, light and visible wildlife on different days, compare your records and describe the conditions and gaps in your observations.
Your projectAn observation route, seven entries and a short comparison.
Sustainability in Small Steps
Propose an improvement around water use, reuse or a walking route. Map the people, objects and processes involved, then compare the benefits, costs and uncertainties of your idea.
Your projectA small campus improvement proposal and a systems map.
04 / MILK FROG MENTORS
Good questions grow in good company.
Learning companions from our campus directory
Field observation · Visiting learning mentor
Dreamer Milk Frog
Seemingly daydreaming, but really listening to the wind. Dreamer knows the pond’s light and shade, helping you slow down and notice the small changes in a familiar place.

Scientific questions · Visiting learning mentor
Thinker Milk Frog
Keeps a notebook full of whys. Thinker helps you find sources, check your notes and separate observation from conjecture, leaving space for questions that still have no answer.

The Pond Through Four Seasons
Create a seasonal archive of the imagined Milk Frog campus pond. Keep a consistent viewpoint while recording changes in plants, weather and water, labelling real observations and fictional details clearly.
Suggested outputFour seasonal pages, a relationship map and a source list.
Read the project dossierA Campus Path with Room for Life
Design a Milk Frog walking route with shade, resting places and space for wildlife. Consider who will use it and which areas should be left undisturbed, imagining a comfortable path for people and nature.
Suggested outputA route sketch, three observation stops and design notes.
