Bug was captivated by Jean Craighead George's book One Day in the Woods so I suggested we turn it into a nature study project. Her eyes lit up and she started hopping up and down saying, "Yes! Let's do that!" She's acquiring computer skills along the way. Here's how she decided to do it:
As she reads the book she looks for references to plants and animals in the woods. Then we print pictures and facts from the internet (careful to give full credit). She then puts the page into a 3 ring binder. We also watch videos and listen to bird songs along the way.
I have found George's novels to be wonderful living books for science. The kids love them and they learn without realizing it.
