Phenology and Climate Change

Science Standards: MS-ESS2 (Earth’s Systems); MS-ESS3 (Earth and Human Activity); MS-LS2 (Ecosystems: Interactions, Energy, and Dynamics)

What can the life cycle of plants tell us about the seasons? How is this intricate cycle being upended by climate change? This exciting course will get students tuned into natures rhythms by exploring seasonal changes among the flora surrounding Bass Lake and Blair Creek. Students will also have an opportunity to apply what they have learned to help manage the Center’s garden which provides farm-to-table meals throughout the growing season.
