Enjoy cold-weather science with this free winter nature study printable packet! The six activities are perfect for children of all ages and will help with observational skills.
When homeschool families think of nature study, winter might not be the first season that comes to mind. As with any season, winter is a great time to explore plant and animal life, the weather, and other things in nature.
Families explore biology by looking for animal tracks in the snow. Observing trees that have lost their leaves or retained their needles is biology, too. Experiencing snow or ice and learning how water changes phase exposes children to physics and earth science.
