Journey North
Journey North enables students in thousands of schools to track the seasons on a real-time basis. Students monitor migration patterns, plant budding, seasonal changes in sunlight, temperature patterns and other natural events. They share their local observations with classmates across North America and analyze current and long-term data from other classrooms and professional scientists. As they do so, participants are better prepared to recognize indicators of climate change and consider its implications.
