Teachers' Guide for October 6, 2006

The suggestions in this guide are provided to help teachers integrate Journey North's Tulip Garden study in the classroom.
This guide accompanies the Tulip Garden Update for October 6, 2006.

Latitude, Longitude, and Location
Students will be using position coordinates throughout the Journey North year. Tulip gardens, animal migrations, and Mystery Class (daylength) all focus on map and mapping skills. Bring out your classroom globes and let students explore them. Take time to allow them to form questions. Then, work together to find your school location and coordinates, and finally, try our short quiz!

Journey North Garden Journal
Use this journal cover and student page as we designed them, or edit them to meet your needs. When you first plant your garden in the fall, have each student complete a journal page. In late winter or spring, as they look for changes in their garden, they should complete a new page every week or two. As they do, help them use their observations (evidence) to refine their predictions. >>
