JoinUsing GLOBE's Plant Phenology to Monitor the Growing Season
Has the growing season in North America increased by eight days? Is it still increasing? Middle-school students can help sleuth the answer with the Global Learning and Observations To Benefit the Environment (GLOBE) phenology data collected at many school sites over a long time period. GLOBE allows students to take an active part in the scientific enterprise by monitoring plant phenology locally and contributing to the worldwide GLOBE data bank through this inquiry-based project.
