Go birdwatching with your child and ask her to identify birds by either looking at their markings or by listening to their calls. Ask your child to read the newspaper and predict what local and national events will have an impact on the environment and Earth’s inhabitants. Plant an herb garden and ask your child to describe how each of the herbs is used in either cooking or medicine. Take trips to natural history museums to see how biologists and anthropologists classify living things.
