FieldForge

The naturalist’s field notebook for ages 9–14: a specimen is in front of you — sort each note into what you OBSERVE (see, count, measure) and what you THINK (a guess about why or what next). It’s the habit every field scientist learns. On-device; nothing leaves your device.

Distributed-narrative cast

Meet the cast

FieldForge's cast each embody one part of the naturalist's craft; field-scientist Fenna asks the notebook question — “can you SEE this, or are you guessing why?” — before any note is filed.

F

Fenna

(Guide) the field naturalist — observe first (what's really there), then interpret (what it might mean), and keep them apart

L

Loupe

Observation — records only what can be seen, counted, or measured right now

R

Reasa

Interpretation — forms ideas about why and what happens next, labelled clearly as ideas, never facts

P

Proxa

The sketch — draws the specimen with measured proportions (the field-notebook craft)

A

Askel

The question keeper — logs the questions you couldn't answer, and who to ask
