December Nature Calendar

December 5, 2014 By: amyswanderingcomment

Since I already shared the Christmas Countdowns, I was planning on having the Celebrating December set ready to go over the weekend. I of course forgot there was a calendar in the pack. Use the December Nature Observation Calendar to write or draw observations each day & keep as a record to compare with next year.

This is usually reserved for subscribers, but I am offering it for free to everyone this month. I will also include it in the December set, as usual.

J is for Jellyfish

June 25, 2014 By: amyswandering3 Comments

Welcome to letter J in the ABC’s of Nature, a series hosted by School Time Snippets. 26 bloggers are sharing a nature themed post beginning with a specific letter of the alphabet.

We moved from Texas to Florida last year and instantly fell in love with the beach. We like to go exploring along the Gulf coast because we never know what we will discover. One of our fascinating finds was a beautiful jellyfish. (Thankfully we’ve not come across any live ones.) Have fun learning about these amazing creatures!

J is for Jellyfish

Did You Know…

  • Jellyfish are 95% water and 5% proteins & salt
  • A  jellyfish larva lives as a polyp on the ocean floor and eventually buds off into multiple young jellyfish.
  • A group of jellyfish is called a bloom, swarm, or smack.
  • A jelly fish has no brain, heart, blood, or nervous system.
