Nature Study Guide

"A Nature Study Guide" by W. S. Furneaux has proven, over the years, to be an extremely valuable instructional tool for teachers and home schooling parents alike. In this book, Furneaux shows parents how to bring children into direct contact with the things of nature and help them learn how to carefully observe what they see. Ideas are also provided on how to help children develop a living interest in their surroundings as well as to encourage independent thought.

Other helpful portions of this classic book include a full explanation of the benefits of nature study, ideas on how to teach nature lessons indoors and a full range of outdoor studies based around the seasons. Instruction on how to prepare and manage valuable aids to teaching nature topics (such as an aquarium, terrarium, garden and museum) are also included.
