This document summarizes a Russian school's participation in the Journey North citizen science project tracking tulip bulbs. The school students, teachers, and parents form a team to take part in the "Tulip's Garden" project. Their hypothesis is that participating will allow them to connect with English-speaking citizen scientists. They plant red tulip bulbs and make weekly observations, drawings, and reports to share online. Through this project, the students hope to collaborate with others around the world studying seasonal change.

2. Journey North
 Journey North is a non-profit educational program that
engages students and all citizen scientists in a global
study of wildlife migration and seasonal change.
 Participants share their own field observations with
classmates
 Journey North is the nation's premiere "citizen science"
project for children. The general public is welcome to
participate.

4. «Always choose the most difficult way - there
you will not find competitors»
We knew about the project “Tulip”s Garden”
from our English teachers and decided to take
part in this interesting project.

6. Our hypothesis
Our hypothesis was the
following:
Our Tulip’s Test Garden will
give us a connection with
English-speaking citizen scientists

13. Our Experiment
We do our report every week
We are responsible for each part of work:
• To find Red Empire Tulips
• To learn it’s structure
• To draw or make them
• To plant them and investigate the conditions
• To make a report
• To connect with other project’s participants
• To show you our project and invite to collaborate!

17. Investigating
We have seen a tulip bulb .
Hold one and examine it.
How would you describe what it looks like?

18. Scientific Observations
We're going to bury our tulip bulbs in the
garden. But wait! What's a bulb? Let's take a
look. Our bulb is unique. Measure our bulb
and draw a picture of it.
It is a tulip

19. What is a Bulb? What's Inside?
Carefully cut open a bulb and look
inside. Use a magnifying glass if
you can. What do you see?
 A bulb is a specialized plant storage structure that
contains everything the plant needs to survive
winter and grow in the spring.
 When we cut open our bulb, we can notice that it
is kind of wet and a little juicy. A bulb's thick,
fleshy leaves, called scales store food and water to
keep the bulb alive in cold and dry conditions.

20. A Closer Look
A bulb contains everything the
plant needs for winter survival
and spring growth. As a
scientist, we explore our bulb and
predict what its parts will
become.

21. 0ur Competition
“The Best Tulip”

22. We Plant Our Tulips

23. Our connection with English-
speaking citizen scientists

24. Keep Exploring
Our bulb will grow underground this
winter. When spring arrives it will
become a beautiful tulip plant with a
big red flower!

25. We are at the beginning!
But we enjoy our Project!
We hope you will join
our TULIP’S GARDEN!
