Spring's vital signs
This activity is now closed. Thank you for helping us track the signs of spring with your school!
Climate change is causing temperatures to rise, unpredictable weather and shifting seasons. We know that spring now arrives on average 8.4 days earlier than it did in the early 1990s.
We asked for your help to track how nature is responding to these changes. Thanks to your observations, we're building a clearer picture of how climate change is affecting wildlife across the UK.
Our scientists are now analysing the incredible data you submitted to create a UK-wide report. Keep an eye on your inbox for details about the report.
By completing this activity, your pupils have:
- learned about climate change and its impacts on wildlife
- developed observation and data-collection skills
- experienced the physical and mental benefits of spending time in nature.
