A Science Resource for Easy Nature Walks and Meaningful Outdoor Learning
Ready to take your nature study up a notch? 40 Nature Walks: Outdoor Science Labs On-the-Go, Volume 2 builds on the success of Volume 1 by offering even more engaging outdoor lessons, specifically designed for easy nature walks. These simple printables help you create meaningful learning experiences while keeping science fun, active, and approachable.
Created for children ages 8–13, this print-and-go resource includes 40 brand-new one-page science labs that transform everyday walks into science-rich adventures. Each lab encourages your child to apply real scientific thinking and build advanced skills, including:
- Predicting and observing
- Measuring and comparing
- Graphing and charting
- Mapping and diagramming
- Sketching and researching
- Experimenting in the field
The format remains refreshingly simple—print a page, grab a pencil and clipboard, and head outside. Because each lab stands on its own, you can use them in any order. You’ll also love how many of the activities can be repeated with new results when you revisit them in different seasons or settings.
Why This Resource Makes Easy Nature Walks More Purposeful
- Print-and-go format – Just choose a page and walk out the door.
- No prep required – Minimal supplies and no lesson planning needed.
- Ideal for independent learners – Great for older kids or co-op settings.
- Pairs perfectly with Volume 1 – Use both sets for a full year (or more!) of ready-made science walks.
While Volume 1 introduces foundational skills, Volume 2 challenges students to think more critically and engage with nature on a deeper level. It’s the perfect next step for families who want science learning that fits their rhythm—and their real life.

Melissa Brander –
We loved these 40 Nature Walks. Things I loved about them:
*How many different ideas there were. The walks are even categorized by topic/subject area so you can pull one in for a specific reason – like language arts or math
*The walks promote close and careful observation of nature
*The variety they provide – if you feel like every time you go outside is the same, these nature walks will give you plenty of options
*Some walks also provide additional resources – like books to follow up
*Many of the walks encourage your child to do additional research into what they have found – which I super appreciate, it makes it a great way to elevate your walk and make it more than just a one time experience if that’s what you are seeking.
With 40 walks, there’s enough to keep you busy for quite a while – and walks are easily repeatable during different times of year and at different places. Very solid option!
