透過這些由備受讚譽的自然教育家設計的戶外和紙上活動、調查和謎題，每個孩子都能成為自然學家。
掌握自然知識，樂趣無窮！ 《自然智慧練習本》（適合10-12歲兒童）透過互動式學習活動，培養孩子的野外生物學、自然觀察和調查技能。
這本書改編自馬薩諸塞州奧杜邦協會廣受好評的自然營，透過更深入的植物、無脊椎動物、鳥類、棲息地、爬行動物和哺乳動物課程，豐富了學校的自然素養課程。
每個章節的結尾都鼓勵孩子成為社區科學家，貢獻數據和觀察結果，為更好地了解我們的世界貢獻力量。本書非常適合作為週末拓展活動、防止暑期知識滑坡的練習冊，以及健行或自駕遊的必備讀物。
熱愛大自然的中學生可以透過本書自主學習，掌握關鍵的STEM概念，例如棲息地適應、植物繁殖、無脊椎動物解剖學和物候學。透過戶外觀察實驗，例如完成實地調查和解剖花朵，孩子們無論身在何處都能探索大自然。
即使在下雨天，書中豐富的互動活動也能讓孩子在玩樂中繼續學習，例如鳥類解剖學填字遊戲和哺乳動物足跡配對遊戲。
這本針對中學生的「自然智慧」系列練習冊，注重實踐和趣味性，旨在幫助孩子們成為業餘博物學家和公民科學家，超越學校通常教授的科學知識，鼓勵他們在自家後院或城市公園等任何場所進行真正的自然探索。
Every kid can be a naturalist-in-training with these outdoor and on-the-page activities, investigations, and puzzles from the acclaimed nature educators.
It’s fun to be nature smart! Nature Smarts Workbook, Ages 10-12 builds kids’ skills in field biology, nature observation, and investigation with interactive learning activities. Adapted from Mass Audubon’s acclaimed nature camps, this workbook enhances schools’ nature literacy curriculum with more in-depth lessons on plants, invertebrates, birds, habitats, herptiles, and mammals. Every section also ends with an invitation to be a community scientist and contribute data and observations to the wider effort to better understand our world. Perfect as a weekend enrichment activity, a workbook to stop the summer slide, and a hike or road trip take-along, nature-loving middle schoolers guide themselves through this introduction to key STEM concepts, such as habitat adaptation, plant reproduction, invertebrate anatomy, and phenology. Through outdoor observation experiments like completing a field survey and dissecting a flower, kids study nature wherever they are. And on rainy days, the on-the-page activities let the fun and learning continue with puzzles such as a bird anatomy crossword and games like matching the mammal to their tracks. Hands-on and engaging, this middle school addition to the Nature Smart series of workbooks gives kids the tools to become amateur naturalists and citizen scientists, going beyond the science material usually taught in school to encourage real investigations of the natural world from any backyard or city park.
