teaching kids science outdoors

I've been following Ben Blonder for some time.  He's a young career ecologist at Berkeley. Along the way he's been involved in projects teaching kids science.  He's just published a new book on teaching science to kids outside.  Trust me - Ben knows what he's doing and has involved some of his collaborators in the book.  (I know his dad well ..  Greg describes this as a true labor of love, and it shows)

Place-Based Scientific Inquiry

The online/downloadable version is free.  If you buy a copy, profits will be donated to science education. 

It looks like the focus is grade 3 → 12.   It's probably good for those of you doing a bit of amateur science for fun.

recommended!!!
