The Northeast encompasses 11 states, and it features four distinct seasons. Focus on the habitats, plants, and animals found here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eWritten by Susan D. Schenck, a naturalist from the region, the \u003ci\u003eBackyard Science \u0026amp; Discovery Workbook: Northeast\u003c\/i\u003e 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!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou 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 the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. So get the \u003ci\u003eBackyard Science \u0026amp; Discovery Workbook: Northeast\u003c\/i\u003e, and get started on a lifetime of discovery.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegional workbooks are better: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction to the Northeast's geography, plants and animals, and biology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eActivities specific to your part of the country\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eFun hands-on projects that spark wonder \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cli\u003eRegionally accurate information about agriculture, invasive species, weather records, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSusan D.
