THE GIANT HANDBOOK OF NATURE STUDY
This is a HUGE (940 pages) and absolutely wonderful
teaching guide full of
hundreds of nature study lessons,
activities and discussion questions. It is a complete
multi-year nature study
curriculum that you can use
for years to come. It is so big (over 100 megs in size)
we had to divide it into six
manageable ebooks for you.
Here's the rundown:
-----------
Monday, January 18th:
THE GIANT HANDBOOK
OF NATURE STUDY, PART I -
TEACHER'S GUIDE & OVERVIEW
plus
THE GIANT HANDBOOK OF NATURE STUDY, PART
II -
BIRDS & FISH
In PART ONE, you get a very helpful and practical
teacher's guide, including an
overview of the purpose,
scope and style of the handbook... how each lesson is set up...
what nature study should
do for your children...
how to to tie math, art, geography, gardening,
agriculture & science into your nature
study,
and more. Each lesson begins with a "teacher's story"
which can be read to students along with
suggested
activities & methods, followed by great discussion questions.
In PART TWO, we jump into the actual
lessons, this time devoted to
birds & fish. As you'll quickly see, these lessons are
wonderfully written,
blending history, humor, a bit of poetry,
and a delightful sense of wonder into these nature studies.
Over the
