Book Pack | Who Did That 2

$2.00

Explore Etymology, the origin of words, and how they have changed with time. Introduce animal common and Latin names with interesting stories. For instance, The ‘kangaroo’ comes from the Guugu Yimidhirr people sharing the word ‘gangurru’ with James Cook in 1770.

Research the reasoning behind using Latin to name animals, then dive into the understanding of root words of the English language. For example, the root word ‘macro’ means big or large and the word ‘pus’ means ‘of the foot’ so Macropus means ‘large foot.’ Play with Greek\Latin Root Memory Cards to build fluency and understanding of this concept. Use Word Bank Cards to collect words with Greek and Latin roots.

Using the information provided in Who Did That 2, create an animal size and weight graph. Practice reading and interpreting data for each animal, and create distribution maps with clear acetate and permanent markers.

Investigate how the science of DNA can help scientists learn more about animals and how school students are helping by collecting koala scats for research. Examine scats to find out who left that behind. Then write your findings in a Scat Observation Activity Worksheet.

Create a printed track collage. Research the Aboriginal symbols for animal tracks and design your own piece of art.

This is a great resource for introducing primary-aged children to reading mysteries on pathways.

This Book Pack is designed for Upper Primary (8-12), and some activities will suit older High School Students (13+). Key Learning Areas are English, Math, Science, Geography and Art.

Hey Explorer

We have outdoor expeditions to undertake and adventures to embark upon. We’ll explore the outdoors together, side by side, and uncover miraculous mysteries, and secrets. We’ll wander, and wonder in amazement as we become familiar with the Australian fauna and flora.

I desire to come alongside you in the muddle, making nature study the joy it’s meant to be.  Outdoor adventures will become a regular part of your life as you make connections to the natural world with a sense of awe.

We didn’t find out about the program until about half way through term, so we played catch up most of the time. I love how open ended the lessons are, but with enough structure to work well for those children needing such a program. We have been able to cover much of the required curriculum whilst enjoying the activities we love. Your program has been such a blessing to us, because we needed a change to our homeschooling lessons which would still cover curriculum, but would enable us to relax and enjoy “school” together. Thank you.

We have really enjoyed the program this term. We have gotten outside more often and the children are definitely taking more notice of things when we are out. Having a place to share what we have done and seen has been an encouragement to keep it up. I sometimes felt like we could spend longer on some topics as they were so interesting but that is probably just my obsessive "we must cover everything now" problem.

I looked high and low online for an Australian nature based curriculum and when I found Australian Nature study Guide on Instagram I was so excited to have finally found something that my family can relate to. My favourite thing about this guide is that Marie is so hands on and involved with her customers. I have never felt alone in the journey, she is there to guide and encourage us every step of the way in the Facebook group. Thanks Marie for welcoming us to your nature study family 🙂

We began our homeschool journey this year keen to explore all that nature study entails. I had searched the web for weeks to research what we would use as our framework. I cannot describe the elation I felt when I came across an AUSTRALIAN nature study guide! Marie has done all the hard work and put together a wonderfully elaborate resource for all ages. You can dip your toe in or dive right into all the ideas and links. There’s so much here we could spend all week doing nature study, and often we do.
