A Sense of Wonder

A Sense of Wonder: Children Science Book Series was inspired during my many visits to elementary, middle, and high schools to review science fairs and science projects. Many elementary projects were done by parents and came from established science project books. Few were truly original. Science was mostly taught from a textbook in a classroom and did not seem to generate much imaginative thinking in the students. Outdoor science classes instill a sense of wonder in students and bring to life the information taught in the classroom. My hope is that this series will inspire teachers and children to go outdoors and experience what the authors of science books hope to impart. My hope is that this will create in children, from an early age, a love of their world and a desire to preserve and care for it.
