Nature Study with Teens




The Teens enbark on their Tweezer Trek, with plastic bags and tweezies in hand.

One explorer is mine, and the other is our newest student who joined us for the summer session.






Soooooo, this is what we did today, even though it was a blazing and humid one!

Sent the girls out to find anything they could-but the trick was: they had to be able to pick it up with only a pair of tweezers. Yes, so off we strolled to the field to pick nature related products. As you see, one found human nature in there too-hence the plastic plant container. Then they layed them out on paper to help with the drawing of them. The girls decided to color them in with colored pencils, but one could easily of used watercolors or chalks. Tomorrow they have the fun of looking up these finds and listing their Latin (if possible) names, common name and any other info they like to their pages. Then it will be nicely stored in a sheet protector for future viewing.

Tweeze Away fellow nature study friends.
