Backyard Safaris: 52 Year-Round Science Adventures, by Phyllis S. Busch. Simon & Schuster Books, 1995.
The book starts in winter and goes on to summer.
The author suggests, in language that 8 to 10 year-olds can understand (and thus, anyone older than that) things to do in one's backyard (presuming one lives somewhere where they have a backyard, or greenery somewhere!), in a way to interest them in biology.
Sample "safaris" include:
1) Find the hunter in the skt (Oriom)
2) Catch a falling snowflake
3) Owl pellets
4) housecleaning ant
5) return of the robins
6) spittlebugs
There's one activity a week for the year, which makes it easy for parents to arrange these safaris. So go for it.
