VI.  NATURE IN PROGRESS – Linking your child to the living world.

Fireflies

There’s nothing like chasing fireflies on a moonlit night!  Grab a glass jar and catch the magic!  Then of course, release it.

If you are near a body of water during the warmer months of the year, see if you and your child can spy some fireflies hiding out among the reeds and greenery of the water.  

Be sure and splash on DEET to protect against mosquitoes and other annoying insects of the night.

Make a Tin-Can Telephone

You’ll need 2 empty tin cans with one side cut out smooth, and some long string.  

Amazingly enough, this apparatus really works!  Carefully stick a hole in the end of each can.  Attach the string.  Talk into the can, then when your child talks, hold the can to your ear to listen.

See how far the sound travels by increasing the distance between you and your child.  See what happens if you run your ‘telephone’ around a corner.
