Preparing for Project BudBurst

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet
This Preparing for Project BudBurst lesson plan also includes:

Adopt a plant and get to know its phenophases. The third instructional activity in a six-part series combines plant identification and phenology. Pupils begin by creating their own field guides to learn about the features and characteristics of specific plants. They then choose a plant to observe over a period of time and focus on marking its phenophases, later recording their findings on a group website to share their data with other young scientists.
