Spring Bulbs for Schools: Results 2005-2016
, 31 May 2016
The Spring Bulbs for Schools project allows 1000s of school scientists to work with Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales to investigate and understand climate change. School scientists have been keeping weather records and noting when their flowers open since October 2005, as part of a long-term study looking at the effects of temperature on spring bulbs.
Certificates have now been sent out to all of the 4,907 pupils that completed the project this year. See Professor Plant's report to view the finsings so far.
- Make graphs & frequency charts or calculate the mean.
- See if the flowers opened late in schools that recorded cold weather.
- See how temperature, sunshine and rainfall affect the average flowering dates.
- Look for trends between different locations.
I would like to thank all of the Super Scientists that participated this year!
