Science & Nature Kits

Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) focus more on gaining the experience of science through inquiry rather than simply memorizing facts. For decades this inquiry-oriented approach has been the focus of the resources offered by Acorn Naturalists. In this section are inquiry-oriented science and nature kits focusing on botany, soil science, animal diversity and behavior, animal tracking, life cycle and food chain processes, aquatic and marine habitats, ecosystem and biome studies, weather and climate kits, earth science and fossil kits, astronomy, chemistry and physics kits. All focusing on inquiry-oriented, hands-on approaches to teaching about science and nature as outlined in the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
