Plants respond to climate change in observable, measurable ways and students can collect data that scientists actually use. In this one-hour interactive workshop, teachers will explore how programs like BudBurst enable students to track seasonal plant changes and contribute to large-scale climate research. Participants will learn how phenological gardens and schoolyard green spaces can serve as living laboratories for studying plant responses to temperature, precipitation, and seasonal shifts.
