Nature Detectives

Nature detectives are people who use their observation skills to learn more about nature. They often go outside and look for clues in the environment like animal tracks, nests, or plants to determine what kinds of animals or plants live in an area. They also might use binoculars to study animals from a distance or listen to the sounds of birds in the morning. Nature detectives might use camera traps to take pictures of animals in the wild or use a magnifying glass to look for small creatures like worms, butterflies, and even microscopic organisms. As they explore and observe, nature detectives will learn more about the world around them.
