Phenomenal Phenologist

John Latimer came in to talk to the kids today.  He has a phenology radio show on 91.7 KAXE radio in Grand Rapids every Tuesday morning. 

What is phenology?  Good question!  Phenology is the study of how our environment changes through the seasons.  In  science class we spend the first 5 minutes talking about the weather and how plants/animals are responding to our climate.  On Mondays, we compile a phenology report of all our observations and one of the 5th graders calls it in to the radio station.

Tune in to 91.7 fm on Tuesday mornings at 6:50 a.m. or Tuesday evenings between 6:00-7:00 to hear John talk about phenology and you might even hear one of the Hill City 5th graders sharing our report.
