Signals of Spring
In Signals of Spring middle and high school students investigate migration patterns of land and marine animals. Animal location data relayed from small satellite transmitters is overlaid onto maps of topography, vegetation, sea surface temperature and other NASA Earth data, prompting students to pose, research and analyze questions about the many factors affecting the migration and health of different species. Students use online journals, which are then read and commented on by Earth scientists and wildlife biologists. The program provides teacher training, which can be conducted onsite or by live, interactive Webcasts.
