Weather Nature Study Unit
Our Weather Nature study is a full 4 week Nature Study that will help you and your children of all ages take an in-depth look at the elements that make up the weather. This study teaches how the various weather elements combine to create different storms, weather systems, the wind, and more! What sets this nature study apart from any other out there is its focus on science, STEM, and using academic skills in a fun way all while the whole family learns together at their age level (including the parents!)
Each of our Nature Studies includes a full Teacher's Manual that covers 4 weeks of lessons, a printable pack full of beautiful posters, flashcards, and 3-part cards as well as 4 student notebooks for the following age ranges: Little Explorer (3-5). Junior Explorer (6-8), Senior Explorer (9-11) & Expert Explorer (ages 12-16)
