Journey North Tulip Garden and Climate Change Study

Journey North's Tulip Garden Study Fall \|Spring			Getting Started

Track the sweep of spring in the Northern Hemisphere by keeping an eye on plants (Red Emperor tulips) as they burst forth and bloom! This exciting seasonal event begins underground each fall. More than 400 classrooms planted Journey North gardens this past fall. Each group used the same tulip bulb variety (Red Emperor) and planting guidelines. As the tulips finally emerge and bloom, the young scientists will report the news to classmates throughout the hemisphere. All Journey North participants can watch this wave of spring move ahead on our real-time maps. As students make observations in their own schoolyards, and observe the wave of spring progress on interactive maps, they begin to see how seasonal climatic factors influence plant growth. The relationship between geography, temperature, and the arrival of spring is revealed, one garden at a time. Follow Journey North News! This is the core of this real-time project. Here's where you'll find the latest tulip maps and data, news and information from Journey North classrooms and scientists, lessons and activities, challenge questions, and more. New to the project?
