Signs of the Seasons

Crunching leaves underfoot, ice on the pond, flowers in the field and geese migrating south. How do we know what season we are in? In this program students begin to understand phenology or seasonal change. We measure the length of shadows, the temperature, and we embark on a seasons scavenger hunt. By tuning children into the rhythms of seasonal change, we encourage them to appreciate the wonderful interconnectedness of the natural world.
