From Teachers:
"I love your work and appreciate the attention to detail and accuracy. The students are always excited to finish their studies so they can work on mazes, hidden pictures or learn to draw our current subject. What a wonderful compliment to classroom learning material. It is easy to refer others to your site with confidence they will be pleased with the content."

“I use Exploring Nature almost everyday. My students enjoy the activities and they stay busy for the entire class period.”

"We have really been enjoying the opportunity to review the science website Exploringnature.org! I am beyond impressed with the sheer abundance of information available on that site. So much so that it can be a little overwhelming, but in a good way! We have been using it to supplement the science curriculum that we are currently using. The visuals, information, coloring and activity pages, relevant games and activities have been invaluable to our studies! There is so much information available that I am also planning on creating our own unit studies completely with information and materials from Exploringnature.org."
Home Education Magazine (HEM) reader Kim Sokoloski

"I selected 28 animals that became the children's animal identity using your beautiful illustrations. Amazingly they embraced every single creature, large and small and made them their own. I wanted to let you know how our early learners are connecting to their world through your illustrations and information."
Mindy Beltramo, The Dewel School, NH
"This unit was a good resource to add to my 5th grade curriculum for a unit about food webs. I also used some of the information to start our Earth's Spheres unit. The illustrations are beautiful!"
