Journey North

Journey North is an Internet-based program that engages students in a blobal study of wildlife migration and seasonal change.  On this website, the journeys of a dozen migratory species are tracked each spring.  Students share their own field observations with classrooms across the Hemisphere.  In additions, sutdents 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, temperature and all living things as the food chaing comes back to life.
