Middle school students will learn about the science of phenology by journaling.
Students will record and measure data through time, learn about the life cycle of Bald Eagles, observe phenomena in the natural world, and practice science skills. This is a spring seasonal project that will take 2 – 3 months overall and 10 – 20 minutes daily, in and out of class time.
