Observe Nature Virtually

Be patient. Look closely. Stare at the same place for awhile. What do you see? What do you notice? What do you wonder? What do you want to test? Here are some videos that you can watch if you can't make it outdoors- or to a window!!! Yes, a window will show you a lot of nature outside. Animals, plants, rocks, wind, rain, snow, clouds, and so on. Stop, stare, and wonder! It's a beautiful world. Even use your tablet or phone to take photos are record videos to closely observe nature and ask MORE questions!
