Exploring Nature: STEM / STEAM Outdoor Investigation - What it Takes To Survive
Your kids will explore structures and their functions as they take a close look at plants and animals that are found right outside their home or school. They'll learn from a very young girl in Ecuador how, like her, they can be real citizen-scientists in their communities. They will plan and investigate, hands-on, what is needed for a seed to sprout and grow. In the process they will naturally apply math and measurement, learn to isolate and test variables, and analyze and interpret their own da
