Guess what, everyone! My Nature Study, Nature Journals, and Poetry Through the Year e-book has become a Copper Best Seller item on Currclick! Whooohoooo! I am also participating in their big Spring Sale right now. So, since I am offering discounts on their site, I thought I would add the same discounts on my site!
Right now, for the duration of their sale, I am offering 10 and 15% off select titles of my ebooks. They are already priced very low, but now they are lower – so if you’ve been wanting to try one out, now’s the time to buy and save some money while you are purchasing your curriculum for next year.
The Nature Study, Nature Journals, and Poetry Through the Year ebook has everything each seasonal version of the nature study books have plus more! So, it really is the most economical version to buy if you want to do nature study all year long. If you are only interested in studying nature during a particular season, then you would want to buy that season.
So, here are my ebooks at the same discounted prices:
Nature Study and More ebooks by Season
Autumn Nature Study and More
Well, some of you asked for smaller units for nature studies and we did it! This is not just a nature study though. Just like our Nature Study Through the Year book, this nature study uses nature to introduce more formal scientific study topics and areas. So to use an old saying, “You can have your cake (Charlotte Mason style nature study) and eat it too (study more traditional science topics).
If you’re like me, you like the idea of bringing your kids out into nature, enjoying the current season and appreciating the little things in your surroundings. However, you might be concerned about covering science as an academic subject.
The new Autumn Nature Study and More has been taken out of our year long study and made into its own ebook for those of you who want to pick and choose which season you want to study at a time and wish to purchase something at a lower cost to you than our Nature Study Through the Year ebook.
This nature study has you observing the autumn season during the months of September, October, and November. There are several suggested topics to observe each month. Just like our larger ebook, this ebook includes:
- suggested nature study books to use alongside our practical nature study suggestions
- poetry about the topics of nature study
- living book lists for each topic for each month
- suggested activities to do during your nature walk or after the walk
- questions to ask during the walk to help your child focus or discuss their observations about a topic you want to study on your walk
- scientific connections: topics of formal science subject areas – includes living book lists and activity or experiment ideas to extend your scientific study
- nature journal pages to print and use to keep a nature journal
- suggested book list for keeping nature journals and drawing from nature
For example, this nature study will ask you to observe, read about, discuss, and explore migration habits of birds and animals. That is your nature study topic for one month. (There are others to choose from as well, if you wish to do something different or do more than one topic for each month.) From the idea of migrating birds and animals, you extend your nature study into a formal scientific study into physical science with a study of the earth’s magnetic fields, then magnets and magnetism.
This nature study supplies you with what you need if you want to use the poetry for copywork (you can use the included nature journal pages and include the copywork in your nature journal), read about topics in nature, bunny trail ideas into formal scientific study, and links and suggestions for more research, activities, and experiments into topics in the fields of biology, physical science, and chemistry.

Using Nature Study, Nature Journals, and Poetry Through the Year e-book
This ebook is a year long study of nature divided into seasons and months and the natural events that occur during those seasons. Through a natural introduction into science through nature, this study introduces children into different areas of biology, physics, and chemistry.
For an overview of what you will find in Using Nature Study, Nature Journals, and Poetry Through the Year, I invite you to view a slideshow I created to help explain my ebook:
Using Nature Study, Nature Journals, and Poetry Through the Year ebook slideshow
Would you like to give nature study a try but don’t know how you will find the time or fit it into your schedule and still feel like you are covering everything you really feel the need to cover for science?
I’ve been there. That is why I have written a book that takes the time for nature study but still covers different areas of biology, chemistry, and physics as an extended study of what you observe in nature. These topics can be covered generally or more in depth. It all depends on you, your child, and the time and interest you have for each topic.
This 215 page study includes the following sections that you can print off a few at a time depending on the topic of your study and the time of year:
-
Each Season has 3 months
-
Each Month has poetry and quotes that have to do with that month or topics within that month
-
There are different topics and a different number of topics depending on the natural events during that season or month.
For example, under Winter, you will find December, January, and February. Within January, you will find the topics of Trees in Winter, Astronomy, Owls,and Nocturnal Animals.
Within each topic you will find:
-
Pertinent poetry and quotes
-
Suggested Living Book list
- Nature Walk and Post-walk Activities
-
Questions with which to engage your children in conversation about the topic of study during the walk
-
Scientific Connections that naturally draw your child into an extended study of biology, physics, or chemistry that is connected to your nature study topic
For example, a topic study in July is Weather – Thunder, Lightning, Rain, and Rainbows. After observing this in nature and studying it, a Scientific Connection offers suggestions in which to extend that study into a study of Electricity, Sound Waves and Vibrations, Color, Light, or Acid Rain.
Each Scientific Connection has
-
Suggested Living Books list (if books are available on the topic)
-
Suggested Activities and Experiments
Some of these are described in the book, others are websites or books of experiments.
-
The Next Major Section of the book is Nature Journaling
Here you will find Recommended Nature Journal and Drawing book suggestions and websites. You will also find Suggested Sources for Nature Journaling pages and Sample Nature Journal pages within this book to get you started right away.
-
The Last Section is the Poetry section.
Here you will find Suggestions in which to integrate Poetry into your nature study through Writing and Studying Literary Devices commonly found in Poetry.
So, you can see that you CAN do a weekly nature study and still tie it into a more formal study of the traditional scientific areas and have the best of both worlds.
