Isn’t all “space” open? Not when people fill that space with houses, factories or roads. Open space—land where nothing can be built—protects nature from damage and provides a chance to enjoy the outdoors as part of a healthy community. In open spaces animals thrive in natural habitats, ecosystems are restored and protected, planet and flowers abound and human guests can experience peaceful and healthy surroundings. Learn what open spaces can provide and prepare your young naturalist for a discovery walk in your community backyard. What will you find?
In this issue students will:
- Read expository text about open space
- Unscramble words for a nature walk
- Make a survival puzzle
- Discover information about wetlands
- Decode nature’s compound words
