LEARN ABOUT CREATURES
(IN OUR OWN NEIGHBORHOODS)
this project is called LOCAL BIOLOGY (until we think of something better)
About Activities
If you try out some of these activities this summer, let us know and we will help you post your story on this website.
Why assignments?
The natural world is not always super-obvious. It might sometimes seem like the seasons are a big old blur: you know something is happening, but no one ever taught you how or what to look for.
These assignments and activities will get you started. Pick something that sounds appealing to you. After you try some of these activities, you can get more, and also get practice guiding and teaching by contributing more activities and assignments with this website. Your activities might be better suited to your home-town and your own friends and neighbors.
We will be posting some more activities Summer - Fall '08, if you are interested, sign up for some updates and join us in investigating nature wherever we live.
© 2009 Local Biology, a social business
A social business is owned by the people who directly benefit, and need its existence. We all benefit from the earth, and knowing about the earth, therefore, the earth owns Local Biology and we are simply noticing her, and how she created us.
It is by being a social business today that we can reach out to all people who want to understand the world they live in - the science, the spirit, the changing planet. We can reach around walls built by schools and other educational institutions, television, media, science, religion, language and country.
We know that we love and care about our Earth and in this we unite as this 'social business,' the business being that we are all working together to bring this knowledge together on this website and to other real projects in our towns — working with our own communities and, especially, friends.
