Exploring Science Nature Studies (Walk)

by Paige Hudson Creator

This is the nature studies (walk) from this book. I separated the nature studies so I could schedule it in multiple grades. Helpful to have "Handbook of Nature Study". A nature journal will be needed. You may need to change the order of the lessons around depending on when you begin and/or your climate area.
