Expand the walls of your
classrooms by turning your school grounds into a "nature
neighborhood"!
This easy-to-follow program walks you through the process of
creating three different outdoor learning centers: a butterfly
garden, a bird observation station, and a mini-pond. The
detailed information covers everything from initial planning to
step-by-step construction, but the information is presented in a
generalized format so that you can easily customize your plans
for school, home, or park use. It even highlights some of the
animals that might be attracted to your "nature
neighborhood" of habitats.
The comprehensive teaching guide
(available separately or in a money-saving discount pack)
suggests mini field trips and activities you can coordinate in
your existing school grounds and offers “how-to” chapters
that provide detailed instruction in creating and using a
mini-pond, bird observation station, and butterfly garden. A
resource and reference section points you to teaching resources,
field guides, and sources for supplies, animals, and plants.
