It is human nature to be close to nature. As long as everyone walks into nature, As environmental factors change, the body's sense of closeness to nature will also be catalyzed. Just like when we watch children playing with mud, they can play with it for a long time and invent a variety of ways to play with just a handful of mud.
Guide children to be interested in things and phenomena around them, have curiosity and thirst for knowledge, care for animals and plants, care about the surrounding environment, get close to nature, and guide children to understand the characteristics and changing patterns of common things and phenomena around them. Generating interest and desire to explore means that it must be implemented "on the basis of children's life experience."
The importance of "family participation", including parents as participants in the activities, can also further stimulate children's interest in touching nature. 3. Who is the author of "Exploring Nature with Young Children"

What I felt after reading "Exploring Nature with Young Children" When I turned to the homepage, I saw Carson's words: If a child wants to maintain His inner curiosity, then he needs at least one adult to share it with him, and explore this mysterious world with him happily and excitedly! As preschool teachers who protect our children, we all have the opportunity to share, feel, and grasp this opportunity to be happy with our children! Curiosity is a child's nature and helps children understand the world they live in. Curiosity is the basic mentality of natural scientists. When children are trying their best to explore things, the spirit of natural scientists has quietly sprouted.
A science educator once said: "When a child asks 'Why?', the best answer is 'Why do you think it is?'" This book hopes to arouse adults to Observe and discover children's original curiosity, follow their curiosity, provide appropriate exploration environment and guidance, and cultivate children's spirit and attitude like natural scientists to learn how to discover and find answers. This book is also the best practical guide for teachers. It clearly provides teachers with preparations for natural inquiry, and details the core concepts, teaching plans, and guidance methods of inquiry at different stages of inquiry (open inquiry, thematic inquiry). and extension activities, as well as guiding words during discussions.
It also allows teachers to, in line with the development, interests and abilities of individual children, how to induce children to actively observe the environment from their own experience; how to provide children with opportunities to be curious, ask questions, explore, investigate, discuss, Opportunities to reflect on one's own opinions, and then understand how children construct concepts through mutual learning, and develop skills and attitudes in scientific inquiry. In addition, there are relevant resources and tables at the end of the book for teachers to record children’s findings and opinions, and then use these files to review and develop the curriculum.
The book "Exploring Nature with Young Children" expands the traditional role of teachers in education. This comprehensive curriculum guides teachers in developing an inquiry-based curriculum that builds on young children's natural curiosity about the living world around them.
From raising organisms and planting plants indoors, to going outdoors to search for animals and their habitats, and conducting a series of discussion activities based on this, teachers can learn how to prepare well for teaching activities Prepare and learn how to know how young children learn and learn to observe through open-ended or subject-based scientific activities. "If a child wants to maintain his inner curiosity, then he needs at least one adult to share with him and explore this mysterious world with him happily and excitedly."
This should be "With Young Children" The concept adhered to in the book "Exploring Nature Together" is also in line with the idea in the "Outline" that "teachers should become supporters, collaborators and guides of young children's learning activities". Young children have a natural desire to explore nature: when they see flowers and plants, they always try to touch them; when they see small animals, they observe with curiosity; when it rains, they wear rain gear, play in the rain, and look for the mystery of rain. …We must protect this curiosity of young children. We should allow young children to touch and get close to nature while being curious.
As children explore and interact with each other, they are always trying to make sense of what they see and do. They begin to construct concepts about things.
At this time, an important task for teachers in the "Little Scientist Series" is to ensure that children's scientific games and ideas can receive attention, deepening and challenge.
In the process of children's inquiry, one of the most important tasks of teachers is to create an environment and culture in the classroom that supports and encourages children to become little naturalists. The characteristics of this environment and culture are: respect for life; emphasis on Investigate; share observations and ideas; archive and record; focus on real creatures.
The most important one, "respecting life", gave me special insights. Looking back, I often ignore or even avoid this issue in my usual natural corner management or scientific exploration activities.
When the tadpole dies, the teacher disposes of it without saying anything to the children. When they find that the tadpole is missing, they come to ask the teacher, and the teacher will use some very reasonable words to smooth things over. Over time, children will develop a consciousness that ignores the surrounding creatures.
Through this reading and study, I will update my understanding, reflect on the bad problems in my education, use a new "self" to drive children and adults around me, and put respect for life first. , responsible for the little lives that live with me on the earth. In addition, I also fully realize the importance of "family participation". The teaching cases shown in the book "Exploring Nature with Young Children" all include parents as participants in the activities, which can also further stimulate children's interest in touching nature. .We should not always think that children are young and ignorant. In fact, sometimes they can have inspirations in their minds that adults do not have. Respect children and let them fully contact nature, and perhaps future naturalists will be born among them.
This is not only the understanding given to me by the book "Exploring Nature with Young Children", but also a concept that should be carried throughout future early childhood education.
