Description
Journey North is a
free online educational service, supported by Annenberg/CPB.  The
Spring
2002 program engages students in a global study of wildlife
migration and seasonal change across the Northern Hemisphere from
February until June.
Students can track the journeys of a dozen migratory species and
signs of spring and share their field observations with classrooms
across the hemisphere. In addition, students are linked with scientists
who provide their expertise directly to the classroom. Several migrations
are tracked by satellite telemetry, providing live coverage of individual
animals as they migrate. As the spring season sweeps across the
hemisphere, students note changes in daylight, temperatures, &
all living things as the food chain comes back to life.
Classroom Integration
- Each animal and plant that is tracked has complete lesson plans
and activities.
- For additional resources, visit the NOVA program site, Lost
