Perfect for kids of any age (with a little guidance for pre-readers), this journal inspires children to follow in the footsteps of great human innovators by observing and drawing inspiration from the patterns found in nature.
In this journal, kids will:
- Observe the intricate structure of spider webs.
- Make predictions about fall leaves, weather patterns, and lunar phases.
- Discover patterns in the spirals of pinecones, sunflowers, and shells.
- Conduct simple experiments to understand seed propagation.
- Identify and record different types of symmetry in nature.
- Explore color contrast phenomena and ponder their causes.
- Create a sundial and study celestial patterns.
- Follow bees and ants to learn about search techniques.
- Listen to the rhythmic patterns of bird calls.
- Explore how trees exhibit fractal patterns.
- Learn about plant growth patterns and more!
The journal includes a flip book demonstrating the symmetry of a water drop as it lands in a pool, along with “coding connections” blurbs highlighting how natural patterns relate to coding concepts.
Filled with guided observations, journaling and drawing spaces, experiments, and hands-on activities, this 84-page workbook offers over 50 activities divided by season. Whether it’s spring, summer, autumn, or winter, this journal ensures there’s something for every season, complemented by beautiful illustrations that enrich the lessons.
