I recently bought a book Phenology – the study of times of recurring natural phenomena especially in relation to climate. Its an interesting read with lots of useful activities for students and though it is rather focussed on organisms found in the UK it has great teaching ideas for observing the affects of climate change.
I then found links to websites that involve observing Nature’s calendar, inspiring students about the natural world and helping make them make a meaningful contribution to the climate change issue and become a citizen scientist. Visit http://www.naturescalendar.org.uk/secondary to register with the project (UK only), its free.
