What is nature? Jana James

As a child, I always believed nature was just about everything that was not able to be inside a house such as grass, rivers, and wild species/animals. I created these images in my mind of what experiencing nature would be like as I would sit in my science classes in elementary school. For instance, traveling in forests and in the mountains; you are able to see different animals and experience different climates. I also believed nature is some things pertaining to humans such as human feces, which I now know would be considered human nature. Over all, Life is nature.
