Explore Spring!: 25 Great Ways to Learn About Spring

Explore Your World

by Lauri Berkenkamp, Alexis Frederick-Frost (Illustrator)

From tracking spring peepers and raising tadpoles to learning about seeds and recording plant growth, Explore Spring! 25 Great Ways to Learn About Spring invites young readers to explore the wonders of spring by becoming scientists in the field. Combining hands-on learning with solid science, trivia, riddles, and terrific illustrations, projects investigate “the reason for the season” and include identifying trees and measuring their growth, recording soil temperature, and observing the forest floor. Bird migration and nest building are covered, and the movement of air and water is studied with experiments in capillary action and in such activities as “Making Parachutes,” Making Kites,” and “Mapping Air Currents with Bubbles.”

This is the ultimate teacher tool book! It has projects, activities and experiments designed for kids to learn about spring. It is also written at their level so they can read and do the activities without any teacher help. The book is written toward the kids and truly invites them to explore spring. I would love to print pages out of this book and put them in a place where they could pick them up and do them at their leisure.
