Learning Activities preview for An Alaskan Spring Mystery- A GLOBE Data Exploration

An Alaskan Spring Mystery- A GLOBE Data Exploration

Students learn about the timing of spring budburst, develop multiple working hypotheses about why timing differs year to year, and test hypotheses using environmental data collected by GLOBE students in Alaska to come to a conclusion about the factors that most impact timing of budburst on paper birch trees. **This activity has an option to get students analyzing data in spreadsheets.
