On this site there are quizzes and newsletters available, as well as photographs and online products. Using the Internet, students track the coming of spring through the migration patterns of butterflies, birds and mammals, the budding of plants, changing daylight, and other clues in their local environment. The activities are tied to the science and math curriculum in schools across the continent. By sharing field observations with each other through Journey North, students come to see their own backyards as part of a global ecological system. Teachers and students compile daily, weekly, and seasonal data from their area and submit it to the site.
Scientists then apply the information to their global research projects.
The students do such things as generate questions and hypotheses, use primary data, work with physical materials, and examine patterns and trends. It is a great hands on opportunity to learn and develop interest in science. This site is fun and instructional on chemistry for kids with concentrations in atoms, reactions, and others. In addition, it also deals with other sciences such as astronomy, biology, chemistry, geography, physics, technology, and other activities. This is a fun, investigative site for all ages.
