Nature Study Made Simple | Episode 252
Rachel Winchester speaks with Eryn Lynum about nature study made simple by encouraging curiosity and awe.
In this second conversation with Eryn Lynum of the Nat Theo Podcast, we discuss how to be outside in nature with our children.
Is it better to be in awe without much guidance or to point out all kinds of things in our natural world?
Eryn encourages new naturalists with some helpful tips to take your first few experiences into nature.
She offers practical ideas like setting up bird habitats, utilizing your local library for nature books, and using simple tools like microscopes to make science come alive.
In this episode, you’ll hear about:
- Simple tools for nature study at home
- The power of naming things in creation
- How bird watching became a family passion
- Using the Bible to help children understand climate change
