24. Mice

People either love mice or loathe them. No matter how you feel about them, mice are fascinating to learn about. That's exactly what we'll do in this homeschool nature study!

Learn about common mouse habitats and find out whether mice are predators or prey. You'll be in awe of their agility and intelligence as we also discuss some of their amazing defensive mechanisms!

Supplies for the nature study challenge:

• Nature journal or blank, white paper
• Colored pencils
