Introduce children to nature in the Northeast through fun activities and hands-on science projects.

With 11 states, four distinct seasons, and a wide range of habitats, plants, and animals, the Northeast is a wonderful region for getting outside and discovering nature. There is so much to see and appreciate, even in your backyard or at a nearby park. Teach your children to love and protect the great outdoors.

This workbook by naturalist Susan D. Schenck features more than 20 simple, fun introductions to astronomy, birds, geology, and more. Plus, over a dozen activities help kids to make hypotheses, experiment, and observe. The 19 hands-on science projects, such as raising native caterpillars, making mushroom spore prints, and attracting moths with an ultraviolet light, put students in control of their own learning!
