Seasonal
change is all around us. Children see it in the
length of a day, in the appearance of a flower,
in the flight of a butterfly. Journey North is a
free, Internet-based program that explores the interrelated
aspects of seasonal change. Through interrelated
investigations, students discover that sunlight
drives all living systems and they learn about the
dynamic ecosystem that surrounds and connects them.
-
Sunlight
and the Seasons: Children study seasonal
change in sunlight in a global game of hide and
seek called Mystery Class.
-
Plants
and the Seasons:
Children explore tulip growth in their own gardens,
running an experiment that tracks the arrival
of spring.
-
Seasonal
Migrations:
Children follow animal migrations. They observe,
research, and report findings and watch journeys
progress on live maps.
Journey
North for Kids: A
simple, student-directed entry point to Journey
North studies. Engaging stories, photos, videos,
and slide shows from the natural world build observation
skills, inspire scientific thinking, and create
fertile ground for discussions and new questions!
