All Students: Week of Nov. 3-7: Journey North- International Tulip Project

Howdy,
On October 22nd, we planted about 110 Red Emperor Tulip bulbs as part of our participation in the annual International Tulip Project. Tuesday (Nov. 4), students will be working in groups of two and select another class participating in the project. The map of participants can be seen at http://www.learner.org/jnorth/maps/tulip_fall2008.html. Each group, using the school laptops, will need to determine the latitude, longitude, and altitude for their selected class. Once this information has been determined and shared with the class, we will predict when spring will arrive for each location. In the spring we will compare our predictions to the actual beginning of spring (as determined when the tulips emerge from the ground).
