Nature Study

Ambleside Nature Study Resources

Nature observation is enhanced by sketching what is seen: "To look at it is something, but its spirit will not come at once; you must look long enough, with a child's forgetfulness of time. Gazing for long, though, becomes tedious; you begin to think of the dinner-hour. But to draw it is to caress it; all the difference between staring at a kitten and stroking it; between watching a game and playing it. That is why it is worth learning to draw."
[from this Parents' Review article]

Nature Study Schedule

If you follows the whole 6 year rotation, every subject in the book will be covered; the plant/animal section being covered twice.

If you'd like to add poetry to your nature notebook, this site has lots of nature poems.

Year 1

Summer/Fall Term - mammals
Winter Term - birds (bird poems; bird songs; hummingbird birth)
Spring Term - wildflowers (Northeastern wildflower guide)
