Nature School is an on-line pre-school resource designed to introduce children ages 3-5 to the plants and animals that live in Pittsburgh and in our own backyards.
Five different topics are presented through themed “activity bundles” for you to explore with your child/children at your own pace.
Each bundle starts with a video lesson presented by Pittsburgh Parks Conservancy educators, followed by a variety of ways to engage children in further exploration, including more videos, crafts, experiments, and songs.
Goals:
· To foster a curiosity and respect for nature
· To connect to nature
· To create comfort in - and excitement for - the outdoors
· To explore the local environment to learn about plants and animals
· To discover nature through play and exploration
