First signs of spring - Tell us what and when
Teaching objectives:
- Identify signs of spring (the science of phenology)
- Learn what this means for those who live elsewhere
SIGNS OF SPRING
In North America, the first sighting of a robin is often considered a harginger of spring. Same for seeing the first crocus or daffodil. We want you to tell us about the first signs of spring where you live. In keeping with our privacy policy, we only want your first name, the name of the town, state and country where you live and then your message about the first signs of spring in your area.
