'Drawing on Nature - when Art meets Science!'
During 2007 students at Nyindamurra Family School mapped the species in the forest surrounding their school. With the assistance of two scientists and an artist, they documented some of the plants and animals in the area for the first time. ‘Drawing on Nature - When Art meets Science’ is the finished product.
Its an environmental science resource book that inspires bird-watching, frog-watching, drawing, painting, classifying, species monitoring and science projects in any environment.
Fascinating facts and tips for valuing marri-jarrah forest biodiversity.
Be amazed and delighted by what kids can do.
