Season Seeking

Earth & Space

Time to complete: 1 hour

Observing plants and animals often involves noticing and recording seasonal changes over time. Every species moves through a series of life cycle stages that are related to environmental cues. The study of these life cycle stages is called phenology and the observable stages are called phenophases. Examples of phenophases include the breaking leaf buds on a plant; pollinator interaction with flowers; bird nest building; mammal hibernation; or butterfly emergence from a cocoon.
