Tulip Map Questions

Spotlight on Council, Idaho

Last week we studied a map highlighting 5 gardens along the 45 N latitude line. You predicted what order the gardens might emerge this spring. The first garden has emerged in Council, ID!

Why would Council, ID, be first? Let's study the January temperature map for clues. Pencil in the 45°line. Put an "X" at the spot where each garden is planted. What do you notice?



Now predict again what order the rest of the gardens will emerge:

____ Sandy, OR

____ Annapolis Royal, NS

____ Brooklyn Center, MN ____ Elk Rapids, MI
