Nature Study

Nature Study invites children to slow down and really see the living world around them. Our Nature Study collection gathers vetted, secular resources for homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers who want to make forests, parks, and backyards into classrooms. You’ll find nature-journaling guides, seasonal study plans, field guides for kids, and programs that connect observation with art, writing, and science. Every resource is reviewed for developmental appropriateness, accessibility for different climates and settings, and a gentle, curiosity-led approach that works for a wide range of neurotypes. Use the filters to explore by focus (plants, animals, weather, ecosystems, or seasonal cycles), age or grade band, format (books, printables, online parent courses, or kits), and learning needs such as ADHD, autism, sensory sensitivities, or giftedness. Many families combine nature study with formal science curricula from Modulo. If you’re not sure how to begin or how much structure your family needs outdoors, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can recommend nature study resources that fit your environment and rhythm.
