Resource Title:Journey North: A Global Study of Wildlife Migration
Description:Journey North is a program designed to engage students in a global study of wildlife migration and seasonal change. Students track the journeys of a dozen migratory species each spring and share their own field observations with classrooms across the hemisphere. In addition, students are linked with scientists who provide their expertise directly to the classroom. Several migrations are tracked by satellite telemetry, providing live coverage of individual animals as they migrate. As the spring season sweeps across the hemisphere, students note changes in daylight, temperatures, and all living things as the food chain comes back to life. The site provides a teacher discussion forum, teacher tips, a sightings database, a form to report sightings, and lesson plans related to migration.
