Description
This lesson, found on the Journey North Web site, is designed to promote critical thinking as a skill used by scientists and researchers. In this lesson, students explore how seemingly unrelated objects, and characteristics of seasons, can be compared using analogies. Journey North engages students in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. K-12 students share their own field observations with classmates across North America. They track the coming of spring through the migration patterns of birds and mammals, the budding of plants, changing sunlight, and other natural events. Less
