Have you ever heard of NestWatch? It is a monitoring program that tracks the status and trends of the reproductive biology of birds, particularly during the period of nesting. Learn how to teach a Charlotte Mason nature study with NestWatch.
NestWatch gathers information like the number of eggs laid, how many eggs hatch, and how many hatchlings survive. This is to keep a database that studies the current condition of breeding bird populations, changes, degradation or loss, urban expansion, and for introducing non-native plants to bird areas.
Charlotte Mason homeschoolers lend themselves well to be a part of NestWatch. Your family can become a certified NestWatcher. Learn all about it, it is pretty cool. One of the best parts of the Charlotte Mason way is the focus on exploring nature and this program fits perfectly into focus.
Incorporating NestWatch for a Charlotte Mason styled nature study is a great way to show your students how a nature study is a science, to practice observation skills, and to record observations.
