The Book of Nature Study, Vol. 6 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Book of Nature Study, Vol. 6 First, as regards sunshine and temperature, bring out the fact that on any given day it is always hotter in the sun than out of it; that our hottest days are those when the sun Shines longest (roughly speaking, that is) that it is colder at night when the sun does not shine than in the day when it does, and so arrive at the deduction that the sun is the great source of heat. What then becomes of the sun on cloudy and foggy days? The teacher will be wise to devote much time to the answering of this question, for the fact of the sun's presence in the sky on dull and Cloudy days, behind the clouds, is by no means clearly realised by children and uninstructed people.

Handbook of Nature Study

For decades, Handbook of Nature Study has been a matchless resource for teachers, naturalists, and anyone curious about the world around them. Originally written in 1911 and later revised by a group of naturalists in 1939, this classic work remains as valid and helpful today as it was back then. Anna Botsford Comstock crafted this handbook primarily for elementary school teachers who had limited knowledge of common plants, animals, and the natural environment. Whether you’re in an urban setting or the rural outback, this treasure trove of information provides insights into the living and nonliving things that surround us.
