By creating a Local Phenology Program at your school, you will give your students the opportunity to form research questions, design experiments, collect data, and visualize patterns while also contributing to our broader scientific understanding of climate and phenology.

Participants create a month-by-month calendar of phenological events (i.e., seasonal biological events such as flowering, migrations, and fall foliage) on a chalkboard, whiteboard, or large sheets of paper hung up around the room.

Perform skits and graph data to understand effects of climate change on phenology and a migratory bird population.

Phenology is the science that measures the timing of life cycle events for plants, animals, and microbes, and detects how the environment influ-ences the timing of those events.

Jun 17, 2022 · One purposeful activity you and your kids (or grandkids) can do while spending time in nature is to make a phenology wheel. Phenology is the study of cyclic and seasonal natural phenomena, especially in relation to climate and plant and animal life.

Experience plant phenology from the perspective of traditional medicine! Participants learn to search for seasonally-available plant structures (e.g., leaves, flowers, fruits) needed to treat common and historically-relevant health ailments.

Explore our phenology-focused lesson plans for grade levels from Kindergarten to Post-secondary, and learn how you can use Nature's Notebook with your students. How early is spring this year and how does it compare to years past?

In plants, phenology is the study of the timing of the biological events such as flowering, leafing, and fruiting. Changes in the iming of phases of the plant life cycle, known as phenophases, are directly afected by temperature, rainfall, and day length.

Exploring Phenology with Seed Balls Grades: K-2. In this activity, your students will make seed balls that can be planted in an outdoor space. They will make observations about the different plants in their area, and record what they observe.

Lesson plan for a phenology activity given at Boys & Girls Clubs in Tucson. Students are introduced to phenology with interactive activities, then use Nature's Notebook to make observations on plants near their clubhouse.
