"Young children are great scientists," declares Rusty Keeler, in his book, Natural Playscapes: Creating Outdoor Play Environments for the Soul. "As they wonder and create, they are asking the same questions that all scientists ask: 'Why do things live the way they do?' 'Why do they grow the way they do?' 'What is the nature of the universe?' Buckminster Fuller, scientist and architect of the geodesic dome once said, 'Playgrounds should be renamed research environments because that is what children are doing so vigorously. They are finding out how the universe works.' When your children go outside, what do they discover?"
