The South encompasses 14 states. Focus on the habitats, plants, and animals found here.Written by Erika Zambello, a naturalist from the region, the Backyard Science and Discovery Workbook: South does what other workbooks can't: It gets specific about climate, geography, state symbols, weather, and especially birds, fungi, insects, minerals, trees, wildflowers, and so much more. With over 20 simple, fun introductions to scientific subjects-like astronomy and geology-it gets children excited about nature in their own backyard and teaches them to love and protect the great outdoors. More than 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!You never know what your children will uncover in their outdoor classroom. Every day is a little treasure hunt. If they keep good records and share what they find, their observations can even help scientists learn more about nature in the states of Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, eastern Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, eastern Texas, Virginia, and West Virginia.
