bethben Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I decided to try my hand at nature study. I've done a few things with the Anna Comstock book (dry and I needed to pre-read to make sense to my littles) and then two weeks ago, my daughter found a bird feather outside. I had a moment of inspiration. I had an Apologia book on flying creatures so I looked up the chapter on bird feathers and we had a great discussion on bird feathers, labeled them in our notebooks, and learned quite a bit off the cuff. Since that went so well, we got out the book again and looked up grasshoppers (since we have a bunch jumping around lately), caught a grasshopper, and just studied that section. I'm kinda sorta thinking of just getting the whole Apologia set and doing my nature study with those books. It is sooo much more kid friendly.

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 This is a perfect way to do nature study. Some of our best nature studies happen like this. I think getting the Apologia books is a great Idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
