Intro

Hi there, curious minds! I'm Crafty Clover! Let's discover something amazing. Why track how your habits make you feel?

The Big Idea

Tracking how your habits make you feel is smart because notes show which routines help you personally. Energy, mood, and sleep can change from day to day, in ways you might not notice. Body detectives use their own notes to make smart choices.

Notice And Write

Step one: notice and write. Each day, write a few words or a number about how you feel. Try rating your energy from one to five, where one is sleepy and five is full of pep.

Look For Patterns

Step two: look for patterns. After a few days, look back at your notes. Maybe you feel best after a good sleep, or a snack, or some play outside.

Make Smart Choices

Step three: make smart choices. Use your notes to try small changes, like an earlier bedtime or more water. Then check if you feel better, because every experiment needs a result.

A Closer Look

Let's take a closer look at tracking! Rate your energy from one to five. Note your mood in a word. Write how you slept. And look for patterns over time.

Quick Facts

Quick facts! Scientists track data to find out what is true. Your notes are just for learning, so there is no right or wrong. Everybody is different, so your best routine might not match a friend's. Share worries about your health with a grown-up or doctor.

Think Like a Scientist

Now, think like a scientist! Rate your energy from one to five on three school mornings. Write down how you slept and what you ate. Then look for a pattern!

Outro

Your own notes help you make smart choices. Science is amazing! Crafty Clover can be found on Amazon Books, Google Bookstore, and Apple Books. Available for purchase or download! Bye for now!
