Journey North: A Global Study of Wildlife Migration:
The Annenbery/CPB Math and Science Project
http://www.learner.org/jnorth/
The journeys of a dozen migratory species
are tracked each spring. Students share their own 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.
