Big Book of Nature Projects

Developed at the Children's School of Science at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, this collection of fifty-some projects provides a wonderful hands-on introduction to the workings of natural systems. Children who live near the sea will revel in following the step-by-step instructions for setting up a saltwater aquarium; children who live near woodlands can learn how to raise caterpillars and--perhaps to the horror of their parents--even wood lice. Educationally minded thought has gone into the preparation of this book, and the care shows on every page.
