Rewilding Kids in Science Week

A printable illustrated guide to taking Field Notes

Happy Science Week!

If you’ve listened to this week’s episode of Your Kid’s Next Read podcast, you’ll get some great ideas for immersing kids in science, both at school and at home.

But here we’re taking it a step further with a brilliant guest post from Melissa Mylchreest, author of Rewilding Kids Australia, an interactive activity book designed to help kids realise the benefits of being in nature. Published by Hardie Grant Australia, you can read more about it here.

But nature is more than just a nice place to be! It’s also a place to develop essential science skills, from preparation, critical thinking and observation, to record keeping, creativity and communication.

To show kids how, Melissa has created for us a 4-page, step-by-step, illustrated guide for outdoor exploring and taking proper Field Notes.

We know you’re going to be just as impressed and inspired by this printable guide as we are!
