About the Book



This region-specific workbook introduces children to nature in California through fun activities and hands-on science projects.



Book Synopsis



Why settle for less? Utilize educational content tailor-made for your part of the country, and introduce children to nature in California.


National workbooks are great-but regional content is even better! Focus on the habitats, plants, and animals specifically found in California.


Written by George Oxford Miller, a botanist from the Southwest, the Backyard Science & Discovery Workbook: California does what other workbooks can't: It gets specific about climate, geography, state symbols, weather, and especially birds, fungi, insects, minerals, trees, wildflowers, and so much more. With over 20 simple, fun introductions to scientific subjects--like astronomy and geology--it gets children excited about nature in their own backyard and teaches them to love and protect the great outdoors. More than a dozen activities help kids to make hypotheses, experiment, and observe. The 19 hands-on science projects--such as raising native caterpillars, making mushroom spore prints, and attracting moths with an ultraviolet light--put students in control of their own learning!


You never know what your children will uncover in their outdoor classroom. Every day is a little treasure hunt. If they keep good records and share what they find, their observations can even help scientists learn more about nature in California. So get the Backyard Science & Discovery Workbook: California, and get started on a lifetime of discovery.

Regional workbooks are better:


  • Introduction to California's geography, plants and animals, and biology

  • Activities specific to your part of the country

  • Fun hands-on projects that spark wonder

  • Regionally accurate information about agriculture, invasive species, weather records, and more
