NATURE AT YOUR DOOR This series describes nature as it unfolds through the seasons in the Appalachian mountains and the east coast region. Plants and animals that your might encounter in your backyard, neighborhood or local park or forest are highlighted as they emerge, flower, or become active. How to identify different plants and animals is explained and unique features of the organism's life history, biology, colonial uses and uses by native Americans as food or medicine is reviewed. The voice of video is directed toward young learners and the rich biology and history curriculum content engages learners of all ages and is a guide for teachers to create inquirybased lessons. The goal is to engage children and families in exploring the world of nature just outside their door! It is biology content rich! With almost 40 years experience in biology teaching I cover many state and national science standards. I frequently include text, life science vocabulary, concepts and themes.
