It's not just about learning new material or skills; it's about retaining that information. Science has shown that if the learning process is associated with happiness or joy, the brain gathers information quicker and retains it better. The Texas Mammals Nature Activity book has dozens of Texas nature games, quizzes, and classroom activities that encourage those curious minds to learn while having fun. Texas is a virtual nature university with 142 mammal species, some of them rare, and the Texas Mammals Nature Activity Book is packed full of educational games and activities that will appeal to 8 - 12-year-olds. Made in the USA.
