SCIENCE INVESTIGATION

Nature scavenger hunt

(Ideal for children from Nursery upwards.)

You will need:

-suitable clothes for the weather

-a bag to collect things you find

-a magnifying glass if you have one

What to do:

1. Go for a walk in a local park/woodland or other nature area you might find.

2. You can use an app such as this one to identify trees you see: https://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/trees-woods-and-wildlife/british-trees/tree-id-app/

3. You could photograph or collect things you find interesting or something of each colour of the rainbow. The science bit: Try to find signs of seasonal change such as colourful leaves in autumn or buds and shoots in spring.

Additional task: Make a pattern, face or collage out of the leaves, flowers or twigs you find on the ground.
