Spring Nature Study with Multiple Ages

Warm sunshine on your back, leaves unfurling and marvelous moss and lichen? Yes, please. We enjoyed some signs of spring and nature study with all our ages this week. It went something like this… Have that nature prompt within sight, by the back door. So, as soon as the little black rain clouds move on we can dart out in the backyard. Go on a

How Summer Nature Study Complements High School Biology

The last days of summer have lingered here in the south as expected. Steamy, humid weather hung on after recent tropical gulf storms.

Summer nature walks and discoveries

Besides our August pond studies with the Handbook of Nature Study, we’ve also enjoyed some nature walks and other discoveries. Early in the month we played in Mama Ann’s stream, which is always fun.

Lily Pad Pond

Oh WOW! It’s what we all said when we reached our destination for our monthly Creation Club. We’d heard from friends that this was a wonderful spot. But we didn’t expect the size.
