1 101 nature study ideas
2 Our Vision for nature play... Part of our goal at the Mulberry Journal is to equip parents with resources for nature studies. Explore our resources, inspiration and ideas via the growing collection of articles on our website. Let s stay connected OH, AND WE D LOVE TO SEE HOW YOU USE THESE IDEAS... SHARE PHOTOS ON INSTAGRAM AND TAG #MULBERRYNATUREPLAY AND #MULBERRYCHILDHOOD Grace Koelma EDITOR + FOUNDER THE MULBERRY JOURNAL
3 101 nature study ideas 1. Create a nature colour palette. 2. Do leaf size comparison. 3. Make stick constructions. 4. Make river boats using natural materials. 5. Catch caterpillars + study the cocoon process. 6. Start an ant farm. 7. Plastic bag on leaves to study photosynthesis. 8. Dissect a dead bug. 9. Study animal poop. 10. Collect cicada shells + research skin shedding processes. 11. Make a bush/forest diorama. 12. Do a night-time spider web study. 13. Create a nature soundscape using a phone + recording sounds. 14. Catch and care for a small lizard.monitor and report on its behaviours. 15. Study the best diet for ducks. Is giving them bread the best idea? 16. Do a study on the benefits of mud.get practical by standing in it in bare feet. 17. Collect pieces of fallen bark + make a drainage system 18. Make bark canoes + make a stop-motion film 19. Follow a local dam/river to where it meets the ocean. Study the water s journey + path. 20. Make an artwork from bark
4 21. Make rock statues by balancing rocks on top of each other 22. Make rock artworks + then study the historical significance of Australian Dreamtime stories + hieroglyphics. 23. Build a shelter that could keep you safe + dry (bonus - actually sleep in it). 24. Study the animals that only come out after dark in your area. 25. Study wind patterns (direction, strength etc.) 26. Follow the weather patterns. 27. Catch rain + do a water unit using only rainwater. 28. Start a compost bin + study the bugs that are attracted to it. 29. Explore the effects of certain plants + animals on composting (e.g citrus, onion, worms). 30. Study amphibious animals (do you have any frogs in your area?) 31. Do a unit on weeds. What makes them grow? 32. Research the origins of a particular weed. Is it native or foreign? Was it brought to control something else? 33. Take one shovel of earth. Pull it apart and study what s in it. 34. Put sand through a sieve. What s left? 35. Fill a bucket with water. Leave it in a bushy area for a few weeks + then study what s/who s in it. 36. Cultivate a silkworm farm. 37. Learn about all the local fish. 38. Take a few steps in some mud... Study what remains on your shoes. 39.

Recreate prehistoric tools with objects found in nature. 44. Start a fire just with sticks/rocks. 45. Study the necessity of smoke in nature.
5 46. Investigate the purpose of lightning as a natural regeneration process. 47. Find the most obscure vegetable in your local shop/market. Learn about how to grow it + how to use it 48. Choose a plant + learn all its uses (eg. Lemon Myrtle or Chamomile). 49. Learn everything you can about worms. Make a video about what you find out. 50. Make a windsock or windmill and measure the strength of the wind. 51. Find a feather and use a glossary book or a search engine to identify the bird. Work out the scientific names for the plants in your backyard or local park. 52. Draw a landscape picture at your local river, park, beach, mountain or national park. 53. Create a topographical map of your local natural area and mark where your house is. 54. Recreate games (or make them up) out of only natural materials. 55.

Leave in the sunlight again for 7 days and watch it go back to normal. 74. Dig a hole. Make a trap. 75. Collect all the dead bugs in your house + draw them. 76. Photograph the bugs + find their scientific names. 77. Make a list of all local animals in your area that lay eggs. 78. Find an old photo or map of your local area + see what s changed.
