Nature Studies
Behold and See
The science curriculum is guided primarily by the teacher’s thoughtful integration of various resources in accordance with the general and grade specific objectives for nature study. There are no textbooks. The Delta Science Modules offer a combination of hands-on experiments and related workbook activities. Anna Botsford Comstock’s Handbook of Nature provides an observational and experimental approach to the study of nature that is deeply human.
