Use a digital camera or a disposable camera to go on
a photo hunt in your own back yard. Create a book of birds, bugs, clouds, or anything that
interests you. Research the Internet to find facts about each one you photograph. Try the Most Wanted Bug Mugs and
the Insecta Inspecta to get started.
Then make a poster or flip book.
