Posted in Nature Studies

We decided to jump start our fall nature study by using the Autumn Series Challenges.

The first challenge is Season Cattails. Although we have looked at them before and did a little study, HERE and HERE, it was in another season so this was a perfect spot to begin.

We learned by reading in

The cattails will die if there is a flood ( or too much water ) as well if there is not enough. They can bascially drink themselves to death....odd thought, eh?!

Also, we found it neat how God made this plant's seeds to utilize the wind and the water to scatter their seeds.

 There is a notebooking page given as well

 There was quite the change from spring & summer til now for our beloved cattails.

They are pretty much on their way out til Spring.....sadly.
