Signs of the Seasons: (click map for link to page)
"Phenology is the study of the seasonal timing of life cycle events. You are studying phenology when you record the date a certain plant flowers, a tree's leaves emerge, an insect hatches, or a migratory bird appears on its nesting grounds.The dates on which these happen each year are affected by factors such as daylength, temperature, and rainfall. Please report signs of the seasons from your part of the world"

Tulip Tracker: (click map for link to page)
"In this large experiment students across the Northern Hemisphere track the growth of the same plant as the seasons change from winter to spring. They explore the factors that influence plant growth, and the full array of seasonal changes that take place in the springtime."

 

The above sites come from Journey North: A Global Study of Wildlife Migration and Seasonal Change.
