Outdoor Hour Challenge - Reptiles and Amphibians Focus Study

Make sure to scroll down for this week's giveaway from our sponsor:

Outdoor Hour Challenge:
Hopefully by now you have had a chance to get outside and look for a reptile or an amphibian to observe. If not, this week you can continue to use the subjects in the Handbook of Nature Study to pre-study any reptile or amphibian your family is interested in learning about. This challenge is to keep track of any reptiles and amphibians either with nature journal entries or just a simple list in your journal. For more information on how to focus on one area of nature study you can use the ideas in Outdoor Hour Challenge #4. 

Field Trip Idea: Reptiles and Amphibians
 
Use this free printable activity while on a field trip to a place in your local area that has reptiles and/or amphibians. This could be a zoo, pet store, nature center, or local park. Instructions are included on the bottom to create a mini-book to complete and then to attach in your nature journal.
