Seven thousand bulbs

Danielle Cowell, 3 November 2011

Over the last two weeks young scientists across the UK have planted seven thousand bulbs in order to help us understand climate change!

I've had many reports from teachers saying that their pupils are now really excited to start keeping weather records to help with this important investigation.  

I'd like to wish all the pupils well with their record keeping and can't wait to see the first weather records appear on our web pages this Friday! Please use the following links to help you record. Keeping weather records and What to record.

Don't forget to send me any pictures you have and I will add them to this blog page.

Question for the week: So far, this autumn has been a very warm one. Infact, October was the eighth warmest in the last 100 years!  Do you think November will stay warm or turn cold? Do you think it could snow? What weather would you like to have? Leave your comments below.

Many Thanks

Professor Plant

This year we have used our own compost instead of buying some and can't wait to find out if the bulbs grow as well using this.

These are our first measurements for week 1. We have rounded the results up or down to the nearest whole number.

Many thanks

We love using the equipment. We have learnt to read the scale at eye level. We are disappointed when there is no rainfall!
