Junior Naturalists: Science and Nature Journaling for Ages 8-13
Class experience
A nature journal is your ticket to a deep exploration of the world around you. A nature journal is a place to record your encounters with the natural world — from the everyday to the sublime.

Students will learn how to use a nature journal to record their observations. They will develop their skills of observation and in turn develop a greater awareness and caring for the Earth. A nature journal provides an opportunity for personal growth and to study the evolving natural world. Science topics we explore each week will change and are dependent on the season. Possible topics include: - life cycles of insects - leaf rollers and miners - seeds - flowers - buds and leaves - weather - eggs - feathers - birds in flight - family pets - amphibians - reptiles
Journal selection is a personal choice. I like the Canson Basic Sketchbook for most work. It is inexpensive and the texture of the paper works well for most mediums. I also like the Strathmore 400 Series Wire Bound Field Watercolor Book and the Travelogue Drawing Book by Hand-book Paper Company. Drawing mediums will vary each week and you can use whichever you prefer. Options include: pencil, pen, colored pencil, watercolor, charcoal, and pastels. Try out several and find your favorites.
