From breathtaking glacial ravines of Yosemite Valley to weeds growing in neglected rain gutters, this book of activities combines art with scientific research questions. The book is designed to help educators encourage children in the upper primary grades to learn more about the natural world and in particular their local environment. Sixty natural history questions are divided into four chapters based on physical science, botany, zoology, and human ecology. Each natural history question is posed with science research questions and art activities to help illustrate it. Research questions represent a range of difficulty levels and may require research in the field. In addition to the four activity chapters, the book contains an introduction with teaching information, and a list of 65 resources for adult reading and 24 resources for children. (LZ)
