One of the options for the DO part of science is nature study. And the wonderful thing about nature study is that it partners well with living books! In this episode, the empress of nature study, Cindy West, is coming on to share about this homeschooling game-changer.
Key Takeaways
- Nature study is science! It's experiential and hands-on, almost as if it's a science lab for your kids.
- Nature study can be ever-changing based on the needs of your homeschool. Maybe that's the most important thing to say about nature study - it can look like whatever you want it to look like in your homeschool.
- It's exercise. It's sunshine. It's getting oxygen to muscles. It's getting the wiggles out.
