welcome to our new
WORLD HABITATS ADVENTURE SOCIETY
Join us for a worldwide expedition to explore some of the greatest wild places on our planet, from icy polar seas to deep caves and sun-baked deserts. Each habitat is a new stop, full of wonders to see, questions to ask, and stories to uncover.
the letter
Every great journey needs a guide! You’ll begin by meeting one of our Society’s Field Explorers, who’s out in the wild and writing home about the places they explore and the wonders they discover. Read their letter in your WHAS Welcome Package, and look for their updates at the beginning of each unit section.
the unit study
Our unit studies are in-depth, STEAM-based explorations of individual habitats, intentionally designed with multidisciplinary connections across science, geography, art, history, and creative thinking to uncover how each ecosystem works.
the logbook
Your World Habitats Adventure Society Logbook is a record of your journey. Collect your habitat badges, record your questions, and capture the discoveries you make along the way.

What our families have to say
My son has absolutely loved this Arctic Ocean Study. The lessons and activities are fun and engaging. The QR codes with video links are very helpful and appreciated. My son was so excited to add his badge to his little book when we finished the unit. He keeps asking me when the next one is coming out, he can’t wait to continue this adventure series!!
Such a fun and diverse book guide. I love the various crafts and recipes to help bring the book alive. And the gentle approach to different grammar concepts is perfect for my young children.
I so LOVE the new Art Elements Series featuring Kandinsky! The content is so rich, informative and the images so beautiful. Includes gorgeous reproductions to inspire and explore! Thank you so much, Jaclyn, for another wonderful learning opportunity for my students. I think this is the most exquisite Books & Willows file yet! Looking forward to the next in the Art Elements Series!
My four year old loved this unit! It was fun, beautiful and engaging. Highly recommend and will be purchasing from here again!
Lovely curriculum, perfect for Autumn here in the Uk. It’s nice to find a more challenging/scientific unit study-often they’re aimed at younger children but this is just right for my 12 and 14 year olds and we’re all learning a lot!
So grateful I found this workbook! I love this idea because it helps direct children in learning, and takes some time pressure off me. Really wonderful.
