Excerpt:

" The activities you and your kids carry out and the questions you attempt to answer should be the ones which arise out of your students' natural interests. The activities and questions discussed in this guide are only examples, not a series of lessons. The most important things your kids can learn using a pond are 1) to use their senses, and 2) to appreciate the beauty of organisms and the operation of natural communities. It cannot be overemphasized how important the small amount of time spent at the pond will be toward developing attitudes of conservation, interest in and consideration for living things, and confidence in one's own ability to discover and understand."
