Synergy: Observing Nature


Observing nature is the act of going outdoors and exploring the natural world. By using our senses and paying attention to details and patterns, observers are able to gather a wide range of information.


Read the recently published nonfiction book, then learn more at the website:


THE SECRET SIGNS OF NATURE written by Craig Caudill and illustrated by Carrie Shryock explores hidden clues that help children understand the sky, water, plants, animals, and weather. Readers follow two young navigators as they explore forests, oceans, and meadows. Children learn observation skills while exploring nature and developing life and science skills. Each engaging, two-page spread explores a different location and element of nature observation. 


OBSERVING NATURE from PBS KIDS for Parents provides ideas for getting children outdoors playing in nature. The website includes nature crafts and activities along with activities and games for families.
