Super Scientist Awards 2023-24

Penny Dacey, 24 May 2024

Hi Bulb Buddies,

I want to say a big thank you to all the schools who took part in this year's Spring Bulbs for Schools Investigation. 

Participating schools planted bulbs in October and then monitored and cared for these until they flowered. Pupils shared the heights of their plants and the dates that they flowered with us. They also took temperature and rainfall readings every day that they were in school from 1 November to 31 March, and uploaded this information to the Amgueddfa Cymru website. This data feeds into our nationwide study investigating the effects of a changing climate on the flowering dates of spring bulbs. 

Here are the schools who helped us this year:
