This document discusses naturalistic intelligence, which involves observing and understanding patterns in nature. Children with strong naturalistic intelligence are sensitive to the environment and living things. They learn best when outdoors in nature, and enjoy subjects like biology. Activities that engage naturalistic intelligence include collecting natural items like leaves and flowers, using scientific tools, and learning about the environment. One suggested activity is having children collect and organize leaves into groups of trees, flowers, and bushes.
