Enjoy a hands-on pollinator nature study and homeschool nature walk challenge with the whole family! Today, we’re learning about one of the most important groups of animals. It’s not your typical group like dogs or horses. It’s not even one of the big groups of animals like mammals or reptiles. This special group is made…
Friends, it’s time for another peek into the real life study of nature! In this post, you’ll see how easily Amber Oliver and her children were able to explore and discover wildflowers through an interest-based nature study. I’m a big believer in letting our children have a say in their schooling once in a while….
Hello, NaturExplorers! This ant nature study will help you to observe what’s going on above ground and imagine what’s going on below ground wherever you see these busy insects. I know not everyone is a fan of insects, but the insect we’re learning about today is so industrious that I hope you won’t mind. Industrious…
Let’s have a rockhound adventure with a sedimentary rocks nature study today! What’s a rockhound you ask? That’s the nickname given to a geologist or the name given to an amateur rock collector. Since I doubt many of us have gone to school to become geologists yet, we are amateurs. If you’ve never collected rocks…
We’re in for a windy ride today! How can we do a wind nature study when we can’t see wind and can’t even really hear it? Great question! Observing the wind is less about looking for the nature specimen and more about looking for signs that it’s there. What is wind? If you had to…

Fungi, in general, are amazing nature specimens and woodlands are great places to go to look for all sorts of species. Have you ever been walking in the woods near deciduous…
In this spring wildflowers nature study, we’re talking about one of my very favorite nature topics of all time! If I asked you to name your very favorite flower, what would it be? It’s hard for me to narrow my choice down to just one, but black-eyed Susans are always a favorite. Black-eyed Susans are…

No matter how long you’ve been homeschooling or how old your children are, some days just don’t go as planned. A craft doesn’t work out the way you’d hoped, anxiety sneaks in and sets kiddos on edge, siblings bicker, headaches happen, and fatigue creeps up and whispers for a break. Societal pressure (and our own…
Nature study has long been a cornerstone of our homeschool. It’s an interactive and exciting mainstay that has come to be as much a part of our lives as our learning. We don’t just notice nature when it’s for science credit, we enjoy and appreciate it in our daily lives! Because nature study is so…
Why would you want to identify rocks and minerals during nature study? Heck, why would you even care to observe rocks when there are so many other things to see in nature. Rocks are boring.
