Phenology Challenge

Phenology Challenge

Become a citizen scientist by observing the same tree and its surroundings found at FMSC three times, in the fall, winter, and spring observing signs of change. What happens to the plants, trees, birds, and animals as the temperatures drop and then rise again? Students will keep a nature journal in which to record their observations. On the last visit, we will discuss our finds and draw conclusions. Older students may record the data in Nature’s Notebook through the USA National Phenology Network or NASA’s Globe Observer.
