Enriching the Young Naturalist

Students often think of science only in terms of formulas, vocabulary words, and lab reports. "Enriching the Young Naturalist: The Nature of a Science Classroom" offers teachers a guidebook for teaching naturalism in the science classroom, allowing their students to discover the beauty and wonder of the natural world. In this lively, practical book, teachers will learn how to help their students become naturalists. Through in-depth study, research, fieldwork, and discussion, students will be challenged to think creatively, solve problems, and present their work to a real audience. Several lessons tie in with language arts and social studies subject areas, making them ideal for multicurricular connections. Written by a teacher who has refined this curriculum over several years, Enriching the Young Naturalist will bring exploration and discovery back into science classrooms.
