Climate Change & Phenological Events in Plants and Animals

Teaching Module

A set of resources to understand the link between periodic life-cycle events in plants and animals (such as flowering, leaf-out, and migration), and climate change.

Students will work on a range of activities–learn about phenology, investigate phenological events, and analyze the link between climate and phenological data (of monarchs, milkweed, and dandelions).

Use this tool to help your students find answers to:

  1. What is phenology?
  2. Name some phenological events in plants and animals.
  3. What are the climate-related factors that affect periodic life-cycle events in plants and animals?
