Welcome to Nature WY!

Wyoming PBS has partnered with Science Kids out of Sheridan, WY to create Nature WY, a digital educational series focused on outdoor science and nature and developed for children 6-8 years old. The five-part series helps bring discovery moments to young learners across Wyoming (or really, ALL learners from 2 to 102!). Each episode has an activity guide for use at home and a lesson plan aligned to state and common core standards. Topics include watersheds, macroinvertebrates, catching insects, becoming a keen observer using all your senses, and insect habitats. The videos are available on this page, at YouTube.com/wyomingpbs, and on wyoming.pbslearningmedia.org.
