Description
Seasons Afield is a Schullandheim approach to primary science and nature study for primary grade students. This German concept to natural science reflects all we hold dear, combining school, nature, and home. Your field guides will direct your studies of the natural world, using picture books to take you on a journey through the seasons. Explore the outdoor world through observation, learning the science behind your discoveries. You will learn about decomposition and mushroom mycelium; become a tree detective and study the senescence of leaves; practice cyanotype printing to capture the structure of a snowflake; discover the life cycles and habitats of your favorite creatures. You will encounter changes in flora and fauna through fieldwork experiments, guided watercolor lessons, literature, and scientific wonder, while you awaken a love of nature—first in you as a mentor, and in turn, your children.

I am so impressed with this guide. I absolutely love nature study and have done quite a few different curriculums and programs with my kids. This is my absolute favorite. It is for K-4, but I believe everyone in the family will enjoy it and learn from it. The layout is beautiful and inviting. The projects are fun, but also not too complicated. It is perfect for learning and making memories with my kids.

We started Seasons Afield last week, and we started with the bloom lesson. It was a very engaging lesson that my children and I both thoroughly enjoyed! My 6 year old daughter could not get enough of the dissecting flowers, I don't know if I have ever seen her that involved in a nature lesson.We adapted the guide to fit our seasonal needs, and included a few different activities where I needed to. This is a great program that you can follow step by step or adapt and use as a tool in your children's education.We are all excited to continue this nature and science program and I would 10/10 recommend!
