Students from Alaska to Finland set out to plant their Official Journey North Gardens. Cause two tulip bulbs to bloom as many days apart as possible. The number of Journey North gardens continues to grow, with another 89 new sites reporting this month. Prediction is an important science skill, and this month's featured lesson guides you through a cycle of research and prediction. We're now approaching the deepest, darkest time of winter, and 190 Journey North gardens are safely tucked into the ground.
Students can track underground temperatures and find out, using a simple soil thermometer.
They're always surprised each spring to see how early their plants emerge. This activity will help you see why. Journey North Teacher's Manual Copyright 2000 Journey North. All Rights Reserved.
