Science In Your Backyard

Your yard and neighborhood provide many wonderful opportunities for kids to both play and learn.  In addition to swimming and other outdoor sports, your child can also use your backyard for science projects. If you want to help them achieve this, take the time to familiarize yourself with science and nature activities that can be done in your backyard.

Exploring the outdoors is not only a fun activity, but it can also provide many educational science experiments.  There are a surprisingly large number of different plants and living creatures that can be found in your yard or near your home, even in an urban environment.Kids naturally enjoy nature, and you can encourage them with your help. This is especially true for kids in pre-school and elementary school. Since young children will need your assistance, you will want to pick outdoor activities that you also enjoy.

One of the many ways that you can incorporate science is by studying the plants that can be found in your backyard and neighborhood. If you look closely, most backyards have many different kinds of plants and flowers. The most interesting environments may be found in wooded, bushy and unmowed areas. 

There are many different animal habitats to be found in your yard and your neighborhood. See how many different species you can identify. Be patient and quietly observe them for awhile. What do they eat? Can you find their homes? Bird watching is a popular hobby, and even amateur bird watchers often contribute to real science projects. If your child really enjoys it, they may ask for a new pet.

You can also find many different kinds of insects in your yard. Kids are often fascinated with bugs, and want to examine them more closely. It is both fun and educational to study the types of insects that are in your yard.

Encourage your child to study the impact of the weather on the environment for the plants and animals in your yard. Backyard conditions change as the weather changes. By examining your backyard after a rainy day, your child may find that many of the plants, flowers, and bugs have either changed or retreated to safer grounds. Your child can learn a lot by studying the effects of the weather on the animals and plants in your yard.

Providing your child with some basic scientific supplies can reinforce their learning experience. Consider purchasing science and nature books, butterfly nets, magnifying glasses, containers or insect cages, and so on. Many kids like to catch insects to observe them more closely, so poke some air holes in a jar or get a small cage. You can buy these supplies at many stores, such as toy stores, department stores, or sometimes even dollar stores. Or search online to find what you need.

Nature and science books may be a good addition to your child's library, as resources they can turn to again and again. Many books and guides have a specific focus on insects, birds, plants, or flowers.Use the pictures and information in the books to identify the plant and animal species you find. You can find a large choice of science and nature books at local book stores, or at online retailers.

Encourage your child to document the animals, birds, insects and plants they discover.You can easily do this with a camera or a notebook. Have your child record their exploration and findings by taking pictures.You can use the pictures for other science projects and crafts. You can turn the photos into memories by using them in a scrapbook or collage project. 

It doesn't matter whether the backyard exploration in planned or spontaneous, your child is sure to find something interesting. Teaching kids science in your own backyard is just one of the many adventures that you and your child can share outdoors. And it just may be the start of a life-long interest in science.
