Synopsis

Nature Study in the Los Angeles City Schools presents a theoretical basis, value, purpose, and detailed methodology for implementing nature study in primary schools. The author argues nature study is an essential part of the primary curriculum, and must not be neglected because instincts formed during the race's complete dependence on nature are still strong, especially from ages four to ten. This book provides a valuable historical perspective on how nature study was positioned in education in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author emphasizes the value of nature study in satisfying natural interests, thereby giving a basis for accessory development, as well as in character building, where the subject prompts children to think about their place in the world and their responsibility to it. The book presents detailed pedagogical suggestions for bringing nature study into the classroom and making it an enriching experience in the lives of primary school children
