What to do:
Find a natural spot outdoors to explore. A great nature spot can be
as close as your backyard or your local park. Visit this spot once
a week or so, and write down the things you observe. Ask questions.
What is different about today? What sounds do you hear? What do you
smell? Can you see any insects, birds or other animals? What are they
doing? With words or drawings, answer these questions in your journal.
Using a crayon and a piece of your journal paper, make leaf and
bark rubbings of different trees. Then go to your school or local
library and find a book about trees. See if you can identify the
trees from the rubbings you have.
How many different kinds of plants can you find? Draw them! Pay
attention to all the details. What do some things have in common?
How do they differ?
