Handbook of Nature Study
By Anna Botsford Comstock. We highly recommend this timeless classic! It was written in 1911 as a tool for teachers to help children love, explore and understand the natural world God created. It is divided into over 230 nature lessons and experiments that thoroughly cover animals, plants, earth and sky. You can use this book as a complete teacher's guide for elementary children or as a study guide for older children. It also makes a valuable resource: use it to do a unit study or just find out more about a topic that your children are interested in, like rocks & minerals, weather, birds, etc. Activities call for common materials. Black & white photographs and illustrations. 887 pp. Ages 5 & up.
