Book details
Maxine Anderson - Author
A practical introduction to spring science, this book turns seasonal observations into projects. It ranges from living things and plant growth to migration, nest building, air movement and water, with activities designed for active investigation.
From tracking spring peepers and raising tadpoles to learning about seeds and recording plant growth, this activity book invites young readers to explore the wonders of spring by becoming scientists in the field. Combining hands-on learning with solid science, trivia, riddles, and terrific illustrations, projects investigate "the reason for the season" and include identifying trees and measuring their growth, recording soil temperature, and observing the forest floor. Bird migration and nest building are covered, and the movement of air and water is studied with experiments in capillary action and in such activities as "Making Parachutes," Making Kites," and "Mapping Air Currents with Bubbles."

Plan to accompany activities that involve outdoor observation, living things, soil or simple experiments. The book’s practical breadth may work best when an adult helps choose manageable projects and discusses what the observations show.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: the current material supports only a cautious reading; another book-specific source is still needed.
