of the Swans'
2009
travels.

Your class can "Shadow A Swan" on its migration from Alaska to the Atlantic. We use satellite technology and Internet mapping software.

Thanks to our Sponsors, its free!

Register your class on this site and participate in this year's collaborative science effort.

In 2009 we are following Tundra swans as they migrate to the Atlantic coast.

In 2006, 2007 and 2008 we followed Tundra swans as they navigated the Eastern Flyway.

In 2005 we discovered which lakes contribute Trumpeter swans to the Pacific Coast Flyway and the the Rocky Mountain Flyway.

Talk to scientists and other classrooms as you explore the swan's pathway. This is a chance to do tele-collaborative science. Your class can contribute to a better understanding of the swan's migration behavior and needs.

Coming Later:

Lesson Plans and Links teach probability to Grades 4-6 and the biology of the swans to Grades 10-12.

Maps will help your students investigate the habitat needs of the swans. The corridor enhancement scenarios your students create will be evaluated by scientists and peers.

Predict a location for your swan and compare your hypothesis to the data sent by satellite. Compare this year's data to last year's data.
