Nature studies 2006- 2007

Here are a few pictures of some of our nature studies from our first year. Each child has a 3 ring binder for a nature notebook. As we complete our nature papers, we put them in page protectors and put them in the notebook. Nature notebooks provide a great opportunity for research, sketching and writing. They are really fun to look back at, also!

We raised silkworms



We found this cactus in our yard and came back to the house to look it up. We learned that it is edible and found directions online for sauteing it! It tasted like sour green beans.

We observed this spider for weeks.

Ew. Tyler found a brown snake.
