Nature
The changing of seasons is a remarkable time. Animals are preparing for the long winter and trees are bare. Below you'll find fun at-home activities that encourage you to appreciate this time of the year.
Explore Pigmentations
Many trees, bushes, and other plants dropping their leaves is a sign that winter is coming. Using vinegar, hot water, and leaves of different colors, you can better understand chromatography.
Identify Winter Birds
Some birds will make rare visits to our backyards this winter, and we cover the best ways to view and study them.
Learn about Hibernation
The crisp air is another signal that animals need to prepare for winter. In addition to reading Bear Has a Story to Tell, Ms. Mary recommends more books on animal hibernation and teaches younger viewers a song to remember what they've learned.
