The Nature Journal Connection

Watercolor of nature journals, leaves, paint set, and brush.

The Nature Journal Connection, created by naturalist and educator John Muir Laws, offers a free series of 40 short (10–15 minute) online video lessons designed to build essential journaling skills that blend science, art, and observation. These engaging workshops are suitable for learners of all ages and emphasize curiosity, attention to detail, and a deeper connection with the natural world

I recommend The Nature Journal Connection because it empowers teachers with accessible, high-quality materials to be able to get their students outside. Nature journaling is engaging, interdisciplinary, and is great if you have a class period or ten minutes.
