At the heart of the lessons in Natural Science Through the Seasons is the belief that children and teachers need to experience the science in nature instead of rely on books and "blackboard lessons." Mr. Partridge provides a stunning array of nature-related activities that will enable the teacher to lead students to greater curiosity about their natural world and greater interest in scientific discovery. Beautifully illustrated, the lessons follow the seasonal calendar reflecting what is happening in the natural world (northern hemisphere) each month of the year. This book is sure to become an essential part of your nature study experience-a true treasure.
