We are participating in the North Texas Nature Challenge this year. I thought it would be a good way to study nature scientifically using our observational and recording skills. The boys have enjoyed the two challenges we have done so far: Fort Worth Botanical Gardens and River Legacy Science Center. Both have been scavenger hunts where the boys and I read clues or look at photos that show where we need to look and when we get to the point of interest there is information and questions that are posed to make the us think more deeply about it. Their favorite so far was turning over logs at the Science Center to see what kind of life was sustained in that habitat. We found a 6 inch long centipede and some worms of different sorts-the boys were stoked! We have also had some great photo ops and MiMi and Uncle Alex joined us to make the experience even better!
