Observing Nature's Systems

Be a Nature Detective!

You can explore Earth's systems in your own backyard or local park. Watch how plants, animals, water, and weather interact.

  • How rain helps plants grow.
  • Animals using water or making homes in the ground.
  • Clouds forming and moving in the sky.

Keep a Science Journal

Draw pictures or write about what you see. Try comparing your observations over a week!
