My Phenology Calendar

                                            
               My mom and I recently ordered a Phenology calendar.  Phenology is the study of
periodic life-cycle events in nature that are influenced by climate and seasonal change, such as wild life emerging from hibernation, birds nesting or migrating, and even flowers blooming. I thought it was pretty cool.
                                                             Here is a picture of the front of it.

                                       

 

This is how you use it. First you flip to the month it is. Then you look up the date and see what is happening that day. Its pretty easy.

This is a picture of what the inside looks like. As you can see it says the date, year and what is happening that day. For instance, on June 4th, painted turtles begin laying their eggs. On June 6th, bullfrogs begin calling.  And on June 15th, Black-eyed Susan blooms. It also has a big picture of an animal, bird or an insect for each month, and has information on the animal or insect.
                                                          

And at the beginning of the calendar, it tells you a little bit about Phenology.  My calender is for Wisconsin, but maybe their is one for the state you live in. 


                    FUN FACT: Did you know that the cheetah is the fastest animal on earth and can run up to 70-75 mph in short bursts!
