Signs of Spring
The sun is shining through my window here in Cardiff and it feels like Spring has arrived! My own plants are not ready to flower yet, my tallest daffodil is 80mm tall and my crocus is still only 30mm tall, but I am sure they will like the sunshine! I took a photo this morning of daffodils and crocuses blooming in Bute Park, Cardiff, aren't they beautiful?
Which schools have had their first flowers?
Ysgol Glan Cleddau in Wales has reported their first crocus has opened, and Archbishop Hutton's Primary School in England have reported that their first daffodil has opened! Congratulations and well done for sending in your records.
Rougemont Junior School in Wales sent me this message: Well Professor Plant great excitement here at Rougemont School ... our MYSTERY BULBS have started to flower! They look very healthy, shorter in stem than the other Daffodil bulbs that we planted too. We think they could be Narcissus maybe Tete a tete? Will send a photo soon.
Prof. P: That is very exciting Rougemont School, and well done for investigating what kind of Narcissus they might be – Great work! I look forward to seeing your photos.
And Kilmaron Special School in Scotland said: THIS IS AN OBSERVATION OF LAST YEARS BULBS. We have been monitoring last years crocus and daffodil bulbs to see if older bulbs flower before newly planted bulbs. After our 1/2 term holiday we came back to find the crocus bulbs planted in the pots from last year had opened while this years crocus bulbs look to be about 7-10 days behind in their flowering. We are expecting to post this years results towards the end of next week.
Prof. P: This is really excellent monitoring and investigating Kilmaron! I am very impressed. You are right that older bulbs usually flower sooner than new baby bulbs, one reason for this is that they have had an extra year to grow and store up food.
I wonder where flowers will open next? You can see where flowers have opened so far by looking at this map. If your flowers haven't opened yet then watch them closely as they may open very soon!
Remember to send me you flower records as soon as your flowers open. To remind yourself what to do, please use my PowerPoint presentation how to keep flower records, and read the What and when to record page on my website.
- Every pupil in the class can send in their flower record! All the data that is sent in is used to create an average flowering date for each school. Watch the crocus chart and daffodil chart to see the tables change as the data comes in. It is really important that each pupil sends in their record - so the website can calculate the average flowering date for your school.
- Daffodils tilt their heads downwards just before opening. This prevents them from filling with rain after they open.
- You need to all send in your flower records to win the Super Scientist Competition!
Your questions, my answers:
Ysgol Terrig: It snowed heavily on Monday morning and stopped about lunch time. Our bulbs are starting to grow :) Prof P: I'm glad your bulbs are growing, did you go out to play in the snow?
Raglan VC Primary: We missed Tuesday because it was raining cat's and dog's, and we had bike training. Prof P: I love that saying! Can you imagine what it would be like if it really did rain cats and dogs? How would we measure that in our rain gauge?
Chatelherault Primary School: Sorry we did not record information on Thursday because we were away all day at a school trip. We were excited to see little green shoots in some of the plants. Prof P: Thanks for letting me know Chatelherault, I hope you had fun on your school trip.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: The plants are growing well and it's wonderful seeing them grow up. The mystery bulbs are really a mystery. from A and A :) Prof P: I hope your mystery will soon be solved Greyfriars!
Arkholme CE Primary School: Unfortunately the plant pots are standing in water this week. Let's hope next week is drier. The mystery bulbs are growing better than the others. Flower buds just appearing. From H. Prof P: I am sure your plants will survive the rain Arkholme, keep watching those flower buds!

Rain, rain and more rain
What a very wet and rainy January we had bulb buddies! It felt like it rained nearly every day! But how much rain did we really have compared to average?
Weather Scientists at the Met Office have created this map of the U.K. to show how much rain we had in January. You can have a closer look by following this link.
How did they calculate average rainfall? The Met Office Scientists have been keeping weather records for a very long time! They added up how much rain fell in January for 30 years (from 1981 to 2010) then divided by 30 to calculate how much rain fell on average each year.
Can you see the two different shades of dark blue? Rainfall in these areas was between two and three times the average for January. Can you see the black areas in the south of England and in eastern Scotland? Rainfall in these areas was more than three times the average for January!
Top tip for using this map:
- 100% of average means that the rain was the same as average.
- 200% of average means that there was twice as much rain as average.
Can you find where you live on the map? What colour is the map where you live? How much rain fell in your area? Is it more than average? Or less than average? You may want to ask your teacher to help you answer these questions!
Your questions, my answers:
Gladestry C.I.W. School: Our school was closed on Thursday because of a power cut so our head teacher recorded the results that day. Prof P: We done to your head teacher! I am very glad your head teacher is helping you with your investigation.
St Mellons Church in Wales Primary School: Hello Professor Plant. It has been so windy this week that our thermometer has blown off the wall and broken. We have been using the car thermometer. L, J and L-b. Prof P: Hello L, J and L-b at St Mellons School! I am very sorry to hear that your thermometer is broken, I will email your teacher and arrange to send you a new one. Well done for your quick thinking in using the car thermometer.
Bleasdale CE Primary School: It is very cold and wet. Prof P: I agree BleasdaleSchool!
Ysgol Gynradd Dolgellau: Yn anffodus mae ein thermometr wedi torri ar ol cael ei chwythu gan y gwynt mawr yn ystod yr wythnos. Athro'r Ardd: Trueni mawr i glywed hyn Ysgol Gynradd Dolgellau. Bydda i'n e-bostio eich athro i drefnu anfon thermomedr newydd atoch chi.
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): on Wednesday there was a red weather warning but luckily the plants stayed in place. Prof P: I'm very happy to hear that your plants are okay!
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: It is very rainy here but we are not flooded. Prof P: I am very glad to hear that Stanford! What colour is the rainfall map is your area?
Burscough Bridge Methodist School: The heavy gales have caused the rainfall measurements to be unreadable as the measuring vessel was continually disrupted and blown over. Prof P: Gosh it must have been very stormy. Thanks for letting me know, keep up the good work!

1st flower records for England and Wales!
Fantastic news bulb buddies, we have our first flower records!
Carnforth North Road Primary School in Lancashire, England were the first school to send in flower records. Their first crocus opened on the 4 February.
Raglan VC Primary School in Monmouthshire, Wales were the first Welsh school to send in flower records. Their first crocus opened on 7 February.
Well done to both these schools for sending in your flower records!
Archbishop Hutton's Primary School in England have also reported that the crocuses that they have planted in the ground have started to flower. Plants in the ground often flower sooner than ones in pots, has anyone else noticed this?
These flower records are much earlier than last year, when the first crocuses were reported on the 1 March. Why do you think this might be?
If we look at the results from the Spring Bulbs Project in previous years, flowering has been earlier in years with higher rainfall, warmer temperatures and more hours of sunshine. Why not have a think about what the weather has been like where you live? Do you think this year's weather will help your flowers to grow?
Your questions, my answers:
Ysgol Terrig: Our bulbs are now growing above the soil. Prof P: Fantastic new Ysgol Terrig, hopefully it won't be long until you start to see flowers.
Glyncollen Primary School: we are very exited because are bulbs are going to open soon. next week we are going to measure them. Prof P: Great investigating Glyncollen, have fun with your measuring.
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): It rained a lot and it was very cold and windy. It has not been minus yet. Prof P: I haven't recorded a minus temperature in Cardiff either.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: We have had alot of rain recently but the bulbs continue to grow bigger and bigger. Prof P: It certainly has been very very rainy, I hope you haven't had any flooding.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: Me and D. are watering the plants really well. We enjoyed it alot. D: I am really enjoying the bulbs. My one is called xdox and pop. It was supposed to be xbox and pop. Thank you enjoyed this week. Prof P: What funny names for your plants! Very imaginative.
Freuchie Primary School: The children were really excited on Monday 27th January when they realised that 40mm of water had been collected over the weekend! Prof P: Wow - that really is a lot of rain!
Woodplumpton St. Anne's Primary School: We are very excited because the first shoots are beginning to appear. It has been very wet but so far the temperature has not dropped below zero. We wonder if this is unusual. Prof P: Great question Woodplumpton! I have had a look back over our weather data for previous years and it looks like this is not that unusual. The average daytime temperature for the month has only dropped below zero once in the 8 years we have been running the Spring Bulbs investigation. This was in December 2011 when there was heavy snow. I do think it has been less cold this January than in previous years. I look forward to receiving the weather data from all the schools so I can compare all the data in my Spring Bulbs Report!
Newport Primary School: Horrible wet weather most of the week. Prof P: The trouble with the rain is that it gets in the way of playtime doesn't it?
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): The weather has been cold, wet and windy this week. We have spotted our first shoots peeping through in our pots though. Prof P: It seems like your bulbs don't mind the wet weather too much.
Chatelherault Primary School: Bad news some people have been pulling out our bulbs but some are growing. And we have had a lot of rain and sun. Prof P: Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that someone has disturbed your bulbs. I hope that the ones that are left will be okay. Sun and rain are the perfect combination to make them grow!

Little Tiny Shoots
Hi bulb buddies
How are your bulbs getting on? Remember to watch them closely as from January onwards you may start to see little green shoots pushing up through the soil – it's very exciting when they first appear! I was so happy when I went outside this week and saw these little tiny shoots in my plant pots – they are so lovely!
Archbishop Hutton's Primary School sent me this message: A. and J. came running to tell me that our first crocuses have appeared over the weekend and we have taken some photos of them.
That's fantastic news! Well done A. and J.! I am really glad you are so excited about your plants. I would love to see your photos, maybe you could email them to me?
I hope you are all enjoying your investigation bulb buddies. When your plants start to peep through the soil, why don't you take some photos too? If you email them to me I will put them on this blog.
- Keep up the great work sending in your weather reports.
- Watch for your first shoots to arrive.
- Keep watching every day as they grow taller.
- When you flowers open - celebrate!! Then record the date and how high the plant is.
- Send me your Flower Records on the website.
Please use my Power Point presentation to find out how to keep flower records.

Cawthorne's Endowed Primary School: Im sorry we missed Friday we still want to go to Wales!!! Please wish us luck in Manchester. Prof P: Wishing you lots and lots of luck with your Spring bulbs Cawthorne School! Just wanted to let you know that if you are an English School and you win the Super Scientist Prize, we will arrange a day out for you in England instead of you travelling to Wales. It will still be a Super fun day, I promise.
Woodplumpton St. Anne's Primary School: sorry we forgot to take readings on two days - our teacher was not in school to remind us. There was a lot of rain over the holidays! We were surprised the temperatures were as high as they were. It felt colder. We talked about wind chill. Prof P: You are doing a great job and I am very pleased to hear you have talked about wind chill, it can make us feel VERY cold, can't it? Brrrrr.
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: When we came back from our Christmas break the rainfall gauge was overflowing as nobody had been able to empty it over the holidays. The ground is getting very wet and muddy and we have to be careful collecting the information. Prof P: Be careful in the mud! We don't want any accidents, were you wearing your school shoes or your wellies?
Raglan VC Primary: Extreme rainfall on Wednesday evening. Prof P: There has been some very extreme weather recently Raglan, you are right!
Llanishen Fach C.P School: No rainfall measurement for Monday as rain gauge was full from holiday. Very high measurement for Friday rainfall - gauge was emptied on Weds and no rainfall Thursday during day. Prof P: Excellent weather reporting Llanishen Fach.
Stanford in the Vale Primary School: Monday we were off. We have noticed that the bulbs have started to sprout and are growing nicely. Prof P: Fantastic news!! Thanks for letting me know I hope you enjoy watching them grow!
Greyfriars RC Primary School: it was 50mm because that was all over the holidays. C: this is exciting and i dont know whats gonna happen. R: it was fun watering the plants with C. Prof P: Well done C and R, its great to hear you are working together and having fun.
Ysgol Nant Y Coed: School was closed on Monday sorry professor plant. Prof P: That's okay Ysgol Nant Y Coed, keep up the good work!
John Cross CE Primary School: we had some problems because sheep got on to our field and knocked over the rain collector. Prof P: What cheeky sheep! Maybe they were interested in your investigation and came over to have a closer look.
Stormy Winter
Happy New Year Bulb buddies! I hope you all had a fun Christmas.
It has been a very stormy in the last few weeks in many parts of the UK. Weather scientists at the Met Office say that this is due to the jet stream – a narrow band of fast moving winds high up in the atmosphere. The jet stream blows from west to east across the Atlantic Ocean and can bring us stormy weather.
December 2013 was the windiest month in the UK since January 1993. It has also been very rainy - in Scotland December was the wettest month since 1910. That means it hasn't rained that much in Scotland for over 100 years! What has the weather been like where you live?
All this rain and stormy weather has meant that there have been floods in parts of England, Wales and Scotland, and sadly some people's houses were flooded at Christmas. In areas close to the seaside giant waves also caused flooding.
Why do some areas flood and others don't? Use these maps to investigate!
Study the first map of Aberystwyth in Wales, where there has been flooding. Can you see the wiggly lines called 'contour lines' that show the shape of the mountains and hills? Can you see the sea and the river shown in blue? When rain falls in the surrounding area it runs down the hills into the river then into the sea. If there is very heavy rainfall the river may flood. If it is very stormy there may be very large waves. Where do you think it might flood? Hint – flooding can happen in low lying areas and areas near rivers and the sea. This link has some animations about the different factors that cause a flood.
Study the second map from the Environment Agency – the purple areas show where there is risk of flooding. Is the flood risk where you thought it would be?
Now you can investigate the area where you live…
First search for your school on the first map. Can you see any contour lines? Where is the high land and the low land? Is there a river, lake or the sea nearby? Where might it flood?
Next search for your school on the second map. Make sure you tick the two boxes 'Flood Warning areas' and 'Flood Alert areas' on the left of the page, flood risk areas will then show up in purple. Is there a flood risk in your area? Is the flood risk where you thought it would be?

One recording week til Christmas!
Merry Christmas Bulb Buddies!
I can't believe this is the last recording week of 2013! Congratulations on keeping weather records for the last six weeks! You don't need to keep anymore records now until the week beginning the 2nd of January 2014. You can leave your bulbs in school over Christmas and relax until the New Year. I hope you have a fantastic Christmas after working so hard this term!
We've had some terrible weather this week so I do hope you didn't have any storm damage or flooding in your local area. The weather has caused some terrible problems for people across the UK - see the weather in pictures http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/feeds/25232374
Manor Primary School (Oxfordshire) reported:We are very sad to say that all the plant pots blew over. As a result the bulbs and compost came out the pots. I just wondered what you would like us to do and whether we can re pot and carry on?
With the recent weather, I'm sure many pots blew over and many bulbs will need re-potting. Don't worry your baby bulbs are fairly tough and will be fine if they are quickly tucked safely back into their pots.
Merry Christmas from Professor Plant and Baby Bulb!
Your questions:
St. Mary's Catholic Primary School, Leyland: Dear Professor Plant. On Tuesday and Friday this week, we think our temperature was so high because the sun was shining right on our thermometer. It felt so much colder - our teacher's car thermometer showed 3 degrees. Next week, we are going to move our thermometer to a different place where the sun will not shine directly onto it. Love from Mrs Thompson's Year 1 Class. Prof:P: You've done the right thing here, it's important that thermometers are not placed in direct sunlight or they will show higher temperatures.
Raglan VC Primary: Rainfall on Mon included the weekend rainfall. A crocus bulb was starting to shoot (20/11/13), we covered it with a handful of compost. Prof.P: This is a good idea to keep the bulb warm but as long as the crocus bulb was planted 10cm beneath the soil then you shouldn't need to cover over any shoots in future.
Ysgol Bro Eirwg: Cwestiwn oddi wrth Rhys: Pam mae angen dwr ar y bylbiau? Prof.P: You only need to water your bulbs if the soil in the pots becomes dry to touch. At this time of year there should be plenty of water from the rain but it's important to check your pots when you make your weather records. Bulbs need water which they absorb through their roots. The water helps the plant grow shoots and prepare to flower in the spring.
Manor Road Primary School (Lancashire): It's been a blustery but fairly dry week here in Lancashire. Our bulb labels have suffered in the winds but hopefully the bulbs will be snug in their pots! Prof.P: Sorry your labels are ruined but glad your bulbs are safe :-)
Burscough Bridge Methodist School: Tuesday there was a small layering of snow. Prof.P: How exciting! Also bulbs need cold weather to trigger their growth at this time of year - so all good for the bulbs.
Ysgol Rhys Prichard: Tuesday rainfall fell as sleet. Thursday was the first real frost this winter. Prof.P: Again, this is great for the bulbs to trigger their growth.
Arkholme CE Primary School: There are some difficulties on a Monday morning because sometimes it might have rained over the weekend. Prof.P: Don't worry Arkholme - we expect all the schools taking part to have a higher reading on a Monday so this is not a problem.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: hi our bulbs are doing fine and the leaves on the trees in the school garden have fallen. The Scots Pine still has its needles. From Airlie and Athen. Prof.P: Yes the Scots pine is one of our few native plants to remain green in the winter. Can you think of anymore? These plants are often mentioned in carols.
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: The weather is very varied each day; sunshine, cloud, breeze. On Sunday night it froze hard so even though the temperature was high in the sunshine, the compost in the pots was frozen. Prof.P: this is good for the bulbs at this time of year it tells them that it is winter now and that spring is on its way in a few months.
St. Ignatius Primary School: Again the bulbs have been vandalised over the weekend. The pots have been moved or tipped over. Our janitor is out at the moment trying to fix them and get everything back to normal. We are very upset and disappointed by this but we will continue to look after our plants as best we can. Prof.P: Very sorry to hear that this has happened again but delighted to hear that you are determined to continue. Is there anywhere else in the school that is safer to keep them?
Glyncollen Primary School: We are getting really good at recording our weather data. This week has been very cold. We hope the bulbs are warm in the earth. Prof.P: Don't worry the bulbs will be fine - they like it cold at this time of year. Glad to hear that you are getting good at keeping your weather records it's a very useful skill that you are learning.
Raglan VC Primary: 10% of pots are showing growth of bulbs. Prof.P: I like how you are reporting this. Good use of numeracy!
Burscough Bridge Methodist School: Thursday night seen the area hit by storms. Prof.P: Glad the school is safe.
The Blessed Sacrament Catholic Primary School: A terrible storm on Tuesday night which continued with a wet and windy Wednesday. The pots keep filling up with leaves as fast as we can clear them but no need to water yet. The children are enjoying looking at the scales on the rain gauge and thermometer and comparing them to the rulers we are using in maths. Prof.P: Great to hear you are enjoying comparing this will make you super at science. Don't worry about the leaves too much the bulbs will find their way through the leaves without any problems.

Orange autumn
Wow the trees are beautiful at St Fagans: National History Museum this week! I love the autumn colours.
What colour are the leaves where you live, brown red, yellow or all gone? The trees like the spring bulbs are finely tuned into our temperatures. Not been too cold in Cardiff yet, so in places we still do have some green leaves. But if it's been cold where you live the leaves may have already dropped.
85 records in this week - thanks to all of you who are getting out each day to keep your weather records!
The coldest temperature recorded so far is -1 degree Celsius recorded by St. Blanes Primary School in Scotland. St. Blanes: "It's soooooooo cold today Professor Plant today! We had to wear our hats, scarves & gloves when we went outside to take our weather readings. We discovered that all the water had frozen and turned into ice - WOW! Room 3 in St Blanes are LOVING this project, even though our teeth are chattering!" Take a look at where they are on the map or view their temperatures.
The most rain was recorded in Ysgol Bro Eirwg this week 140mm! Bro Eirwg: "We've enjoyed collecting data this week. When will the bulbs start to grow?" They will be growing beneath the soil already but shoots should appear above the soil from January onwards.
Your questions - my answers:
- Culross Primary School. Very cold week - children enjoyed measuring rainfall and looking at temperatures. We also discussed the importance of trying to record results at the same time each day. Prof.P: Very good - this is important for ensuring a fair test!
- St. Blanes Primary School. We are excited to go out into the school garden everyday to check our rain gauge and thermometer! Ysgol Sychdyn: We have enjoyed recording the weather data. Prof.P: Fantastic - you'll be weather experts soon!
- Cawthorne's Endowed Primary School. Hello Professor Plant this is a very good idea. Prof.P: thanks you very much!
- St. Mary's Catholic Primary School. Thank you Professor Plant for sending us the bulbs. We enjoyed planting them and can't wait to see what they look like when they grow. From Year 1 children at St Mary's in Leyland. Prof.P: I'm sure the flowers will be beautiful Year 1!
Planting and measuring
All the bulbs are now tucked safely into the soil! Over 6,000 in total were planted across the UK by the Super Scientists that have begun keeping weather records to investigate climate change.
The weather on the week of planting was very wet but despite this the pupils got outside and enjoyed gardening. The pupils created labels for their plants and adopted them and will care for them until they flower next spring. See some of the pictures sent in from schools.
Last week schools began keeping weather records. They are learning how to record temperatures and measure rainfall. They then upload these records to our website using their ICT skills. So far, I've received fifty four records - which is amazing! Keep up the good work bulb buddies!
I'd like to say a special hello to Isaac from Lancashire who visited Cardiff Museum over half term and popped in to say hello. Unfortunately, I was working planting our new Urban Meadow and so missed Isaac but I did get the lovely note. Sorry I missed you Isaac - hope you enjoyed your visit to Cardiff.
Professor Plant.
Your comments - my answers:
SS Philip and James CE Primary School: We're not sure our laminated labels will survive the winter so we wrote our names on the lollypop sticks and on the side of the pots in case the pictures fall off. Any other advice welcome! Here are some comments from the children: "I really liked comparing the size of the bulbs." "I enjoyed seeing the pointy part of the daffodil peeping through the compost." "Putting the soil in and getting my hands messy was the best bit". "It was really cool." Prof.P: Glad you enjoyed planting. Keeping the tags on the labels is tricky. I think what you have done is great. Some schools use a permanent white marker pen to write on the pots.
Kilmaron Special School: This year we have planted our bulbs in 4 different places to see if they grow better at the front of the school or at the back. We have planted some in the bulbs in a new bed and some in old beds to see if the soil makes a difference. Prof P: Great investigative skills Kilmaron - please let us know if you see any changes and if they are as you predict?
Glyncollen Primary School: Our bulbs are in good condition. We enjoyed planting them and can't wait to see them grow. Prof.P: Glad the bulbs are doing well and that you are enjoying the project again at Glyncollen.
Greyfriars RC Primary School: I am really enjoying it thank you for last year. I'm loving the bulbs mine are called Earl and Willum. Prof.P: I'm delighted to hear you enjoyed and are continuing to this year at Greyfriars.
Ladywell Primary School: We are really enjoying looking after the bulbs. We will be a few days behind everyone else as unfortunately they were knocked down and we had to replant the bulbs. We are thankful that you gave us more bulbs because they were destroyed. We are also thankful for including us in the project. Prof.P: Glad you got the bulbs and more importantly that you haven't given up!
Bleasdale CE Primary School: We have been scaring away the slugs! Prof.P: Many gardeners will be very interested to know how you are doing this Bleasdale. Let me know.
Raglan VC Primary: We removed lots of fallen leaves from the top of the pots. No watering required this week.
Ysgol Bro Eirwg: Ar ddydd Mercher cafon ni 19cm o law, sef 190mm - mae'r siart dim ond yn mynd i 100mm! Hefyd ar ddydd Gwener cafon ni 11cm o law, sef 110mm, yr un broblem gyda'r siart! Diolch Athro.Ardd: Llawer iawn o glaw! Wnai newid y furflen we - diolch.
Woodplumpton St. Anne's Primary School: It's interesting to see the difference between the highest and the lowest temperatures in one week. We are very excited to be taking part in the project. We want to know what will happen. Prof.P: Hopefully in the spring you will have some beautiful flowers!
Culross Primary School: We are going to send our weather reports on Monday's. On Friday the rainfall was 10 mm because it was hailstones on Thursday evening. Prof.P: Wow hailstones already! We had some in Cardiff too - I got soaked!
Burscough Bridge Methodist School: There was a high amount of rainfall this week and due to the weather conditions over Wednesday night the gauges tipped and lost the contents. Prof.P: I use a big lump of clay to help keep my rain gauge in place but most days it should be fine in the soil.
October 2013
The big plant
Just five days now until the big planting week which will take place all over the UK as part of the Spring Bulbs for Schools investigation! I do hope the weather is kind to us!
Six and a half thousand pupils will plant bulbs as the 1st step in this exciting climate investigation.
English and Welsh schools will be planting on the 21st of October and Scottish schools on the 25th.
To all of you planting:
- Remember to make your labels before you plant!
- Please read this before Planting your bulbs to ensure a fair-test!
- Please send me or Tweet me pictures of your class planting to use in this blog.
My Twitter account is www.twitter.com/professor_plant
Good luck bulb buddies!

An experiment of bulbous proportions!
Hi! I'm Professor Plant and I'd like to welcome the six and a half thousand young scientists across the UK that are taking part in the Spring Bulb for Schools Investigation this year!
Twelve thousand bulbs will be planted and monitored as part of this long term climate investigation being co-ordinated at Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales. If there was a world record for the most people planting bulbs simultaneously, (in several locations) we could smash it!
All the bulbs have been counted up by our fantastic volunteers (see the pics) and are steadily being delivered to the 150 schools across the country. I'd like to welcome each an every pupil and teacher who will be working on this project!
- Take a look at the map to see where the bulbs are being sent across the UK
- If you haven't already received my letter please follow this link
- Before each bulb is planted, each pupil must also adopt their bulb and promise to care for it. If you want to know how see this link
If you are wondering where the bulbs came from and how they got to your school - please read then read on y friend Baby Bulb is going to explain:
"My bulb buddies and I come from a nursery plantation in Manorbier, near Tenby in Wales, it's called 'Springfields'. We didn't spring from the fields, but we were picked and loaded onto a van ready to go to our new homes. At first I was a little afraid, but then when I met Professor Plant at the Museum I understood that I would be cared for by a nice young person and that I have an important job to do. We have all been selected to help us understand how the weather can affect when my friends and I make flowers. My parents before me grew here too, Springfields have been growing us 'Tenby Daffodils' for about 25 years, and we are one of the two daffodils that are native to the British Isles".
Just a few weeks until planting now! I can't wait!

Aesthetically Pleasing (And Functional!) Solar Panel Slate Roofing
These innovative solar slates from Heritage Solar Slate have been developed with similar aesthetic properties to roofing slates. They are fully weather proof and, unlike traditional solar panels, blend in with standard roof slates to provide an aesthetically pleasing solar panel roof. Heritage Solar Slates are ideal for use in conservation areas, on historic buildings, new builds or renovation projects. It is hoped that the slate panels will enable groups like The UK's National Trust to reduce the carbon footprint of historical buildings and attractions.

All SUNY Plattsburgh alumni are invited to help prepare the next generation of graduates for career success through Cardinal Networking Nights.
Three events are planned for early in the new year: Jan. 9 in Albany, N.Y.; Jan. 23 in New York City; and Jan. 30 in Plattsburgh. They are designed for alumni to discuss careers, internships, job searches and life after college with students.
"Plattsburgh students have a strong interest in connecting with alumni," said Tracey Cross-Baker, director of the college's Career Development Center. "They want to know more about how their education will prepare them for the real world."
Each Networking Night will feature a 6 p.m. alumni career panel followed by a 7 p.m. networking social. Panelists will represent a variety of professions, including law, finance, sales and marketing — and class years from the 1970s through the '00s.
"Alumni who meet students at a Networking Night may share tips or career stories. They may even identify future employees," said Joanne Nelson, director of alumni relations.
Cross-Baker said she hopes students gain confidence in their career search skills at the events, as they learn how alumni have established themselves professionally.
Both Cross-Baker and Nelson also anticipate that students will come to see that the SUNY Plattsburgh community extends well beyond the perimeter of the campus.
"These events will be a resource for them for years to come," Cross-Baker said. "It's truly a win-win situation."
For more information on registration for any of the Cardinal Networking Nights, visit our website at www.plattsburgh.edu/alumni/networkingnights.php, call (800) 964-1889, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Allergy Policy: When Balance is Elusive
This month, Sam comes face to face with the dilemma of allergy safety and reasonable expectations at her son's elementary school.
The other evening I'm at a school event with the kids. It's movie night, so I'm towing a bag of treats, including some ketchup-flavored potato chips (my fave), gummies (theirs) and a few other pieces of choice junk. (What can I say? It's movie night!)
Another mother I've known for years – a nutritionist, no less – notices my goodies and asks, "Can Lucas eat all that?"
"It's not all for him," I reply. "But yeah, it's all safe for him, if that's what you mean."
"That's exactly what I mean," she says, now in an obviously peeved tone. "I sent some of those same snacks in my son's lunch bag last week and they were sent home with a note saying 'they're unsafe for our allergic students'."
Another mother overheard the conversation, and nutritionist mom was quick to repeat herself, only now in an even snarkier tone. "Next thing you know they'll be telling us we can only send bread and butter, or actually, not even that," she adds. "I hear you on that one," the other mother responds (and I swear I could hear her eyes rolling).
"But that's not at all the direction we're going in," I protest. I know this, because I advise the school on allergy-related issues – and I'm all about asking others for as little accommodation as necessary.
I'm well aware that my son Lucas (allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, egg, mustard and kiwi) has a much better chance of cracking his head on the pavement than he does reacting to a food he's not eating that may contain a trace of nuts. I also believe that allergy parents must primarily educate their allergic kids and instill a no-sharing policy in them, above and beyond everyone else. I think it's doubly important not to over-insulate our growing allergic kids and to use school as a training ground for life, within reason.
This is why our school's allergy policy calls for support and awareness. "We don't call for bans. We're not hung up on 'may contains' and we're definitely not only restricted to products that have a nut-free symbol on the packaging," I explain to nutritionist mom, in the sweetest voice I can muster, despite the steam whistling out of my ears.
"Then why did they send my kid's lunch home?" She's clearly annoyed and was obviously humiliated by the wrist-slap.

Introduce your students to the emerging field of nanotechnology through our hands-on education programs. Education programs can be held at your institution or on the North Seattle College campus.
Programs are aligned with WA, ID, and OR learning requirements and engage students in interactive demonstrations. All programs can be tailored to fit the needs of your classroom or organization including adding tours of research laboratories.
Program Audience:
SHINE focuses on working with high school age students. There are also limited opportunities for middle school age students, especially if they fit the below criteria.
Program Cost:
Free to schools and organizations that fit at least one of the following criteria ($30 per program for all others):
● 75% of students from populations underrepresented in STEM careers
● Career and Technical Education classes
● Rural schools and organizations
Program Options:
What is Nanotechnology?
How small is small? Does size matter? Through hands-on water activities, students will discover how small one-billionth is and how size affects physical and chemical properties. Students will learn how nanotechnology utilizes chemical processes to change the behavior of materials including making sand and fabric hydrophobic. |
Lithography – 3 lab options
Lithography was a term originally used to define a type of printing process invented in the 1700s in which a pattern was transferred onto a flat stone or surface. Today, lithography is also a term used to describe how structures such as computer chips are designed. Features, including fluid channels and electrical circuits, can be made by adding light (photolithography) or polymers (soft lithography) to certain areas of a substrate, or "chip".
Students will learn the general process used to make circuits and other features that are the basis of computer chips technology. In a hands on process that demonstrates the basic technique used in a clean room, students will be able to make patterns on a glass substrate using photoresist and light. |
3D Printing using Photolithography
Students can design simple 3D patterns using PowerPoint or use already created templates. The designs then come to life as students create 3D objects by expanding the basics of the photolithography technique in the 3rd dimension. |
Soft lithography
In soft lithography, a master mold is made using traditional photolithography techniques. Then, a polymer (or "soft" material) is poured into the master to replicate the pattern of the master. The resulting polymer structures can be used for a variety of applications. One main application is to create microfluidic devices, which control the flow of fluids. This can be used for analysis in medicine and biology. Using a simple mold, a Jell-O chip is made in which students explore the use of these chips. |
Water Splitting/ Fuel Cells
Fuel cells provided electricity to the space shuttle orbiter and are a promising renewable energy source here on earth. As the need for alternative energy sources increases, harnessing power by splitting water is one area being researched for further commercial development. Explore what nanotechnology is and how it relates to fuel cells, engage in hands-on demonstrations, split water into hydrogen and oxygen, and build a fuel cell powered car. |
Nanocrystalline Solar Cells
Solar cell efficiency is one of the biggest barriers to making this technology commercially viable. Learn how solar cells are made and how nanotechnology is playing a large part in the ability to make these materials more efficient. Students assemble working solar cells using dye from raspberries. (Chlorophyll and certain types of other berries may be used). |
Antimicrobial properties of silver (silver nanoparticle synthesis)
Nanoparticles display a myriad of attributes that vary from their macro scale counterparts including changes to biological properties. Discover the antimicrobial properties of silver on the nanoscale as students first synthesize silver nanoparticles and then examine their effect on bacteria growth. (E. coli has the best results, but cannot be transported to schools. If schools have the ability to grow and properly dispose of biohazard waste, this is the best option for this lab. Swabs of check cells from students can also be used and does not need be disposed of using biohazard precautions.) |
Gold nanoparticle sensor (gold nanoparticle synthesis)
What Color is Gold? introduces students to the field of nanotechnology and its applications. Gold nanoparticles are being studied to help in the detection of cancers and other toxins. Students will learn about how gold nanoparticles have different properties from gold at the macro scale while conducting an experiment to create a salt sensor that utilizes different colors of gold. |
Nanoparticle stained glass (gold and silver nanoparticle synthesis)
Stained glass windows have been made using nanoparticles for centuries. Students will discover the optical properties of nanoscale materials as they synthesize gold and silver nanoparticles. Using simulated liquid lead and a polymer, students will be able to create their own stained "glass" using nanoparticles of silver and gold. |

"The Robby Hopkins Band has been voted 'Best Country Act' in Chattanooga as well as 'Best of the Best' in Knoxville," said Will Nichols, producer of the weekly show.
"Plus, lead guitarist Tyler Southern was awarded 'Best Guitar Player' and 'Best Keyboard Player' by the Chattanooga Music Awards. It's their second appearance on the Jubilee. Last year they blew us away."
Hailing from Lafayette, Ga., Hopkins learned to play guitar at age 8, and wrote his first song at age 16. He and his band played the Riverbend Festival, opened for American Idol's Lauren Alaina, opened for country star Randy Houser and cut their first CD, "How'd We End Up Here."
"Two more exceptional musicians round out the band with Cody Bunch on drums and Jonathan Wakefield on bass," said Nichols.
"Their exciting blend of hard-driving country and country gospel make this a concert not to miss."
Also appearing on the Jubilee is award-winning singer-songwriter Elmer Bramlett, Southern Gospel singer Amy McAlister, and the Cowboy Church Band and Chorale. Nichols, known as "The Gospel Gun," is host and announcer.
The Cowboy Gospel Jubilee is held at the Cleveland Cowboy Church in the Dockery Heights community at 3040 Blythe Road, off Dockery Lane, between Blue Springs and Blackburn Roads. Admission is free and a love offering is taken.

Gil Waters and Brent Parker offer their pedestrian overpass and Main Street vision
Date: November 17, 2011
by: Kurt Schultheis | City Editor
Longtime Sarasota resident and activist Gil Waters, who helped bring what is now the Ringling Bridge to Sarasota, hopes to finally have a 50-year-old plan for downtown realized.
Waters and Sarasota architect Brent Parker are pitching a plan to Sarasota officials and downtown organizations that would make a portion of Main Street pedestrian-friendly and create a pedestrian overpass to Sarasota Bay.
Waters said the plan is the final phase of a 1959 concept that originally proposed taking Main Street past U.S. 41 to the bayfront.
That downtown project, Waters said, is already more than 80% complete and included the formation of Ringling Boulevard, the rerouting of U.S. 41, the creation of the Van Wezel Performing Arts Center, the dredging of the marina and the fill of land that created the dirt where Marina Jack now sits.
"What didn't get funded was a pedestrian Main Street and a connection to the bayfront," Waters said. "We only have two projects left, and there's a need for the identification and implementation of the walking street concept that promotes tourism and the merchants' best interests."
Waters hired Parker to create renderings that shows a bricked, pedestrian-only Main Street from Orange Avenue to Gulfstream Avenue and a pedestrian overpass that sits 18 feet off the ground and allows pedestrians access to the bayfront.
Parker, however, said he knows a pedestrian-only Main Street might receive criticism. He said that concept could be implemented in sections to see if it works.
Downtown Improvement District Chairman Ernie Ritz also acknowledged a pedestrian-only Main Street would be a hard sell.
"Merchants are already complaining about the elimination of some of the parking as part of the Main Street streetscape project," Ritz said. "I'm not sure that would work."
Noting the city could add electronic metal posts (that could go up or down at any time) at Palm Avenue to block cars from entering, Parker said the city could try a pedestrian-only Main Street from Gulfstream Avenue to the Five Points roundabout to see how successful it is.
The posts would allow garbage trucks to access the street and also allow for pedicabs, trams and other forms of transportation along the street.
"This will work now because we have the parking around Main Street to accommodate a pedestrian-only street now," said Parker, noting the Palm Avenue parking garage and future State Street parking garage as examples of other parking options.
The goal, Parker said, would be to create roadway loops outside of Main Street and to install signage alerting pedestrians to both parking options and where the Main Street pedestrian activity is.
"The second part of the project is how we connect to the bayfront," Parker said.
Parker believes that can be achieved by building a pedestrian overpass, at a cost of approximately $2 million, that would follow the traffic pattern above a roundabout that will eventually be built at Main Street and U.S. 41.
"I think it becomes the gateway to downtown Sarasota and will be very popular among joggers," Parker said.
Parker and Waters have presented their plan to Mayor Suzanne Atwell, City Manager Bob Bartolotta and groups such as the Downtown Improvement District.
"It's being met with much enthusiasm," Waters said.
Bartolotta said the plan needs to be vetted through the public process to see if it gains traction.
"It's certainly creative and innovative," Bartolotta said.
Waters, meanwhile, said he is simply trying to complete the last two elements of the 1959 project.
"Everything else is already in place," Waters said.
Parker said that if you take what's already been done as part of the 1959 plan, it would translate into $400 million worth of projects in today's dollars.
"All that's left is a couple of million dollars for an overpass and a pedestrian Main Street that could take $4 million to create," Parker said.
Waters, however, said the impact the completed project would have on Sarasota is immeasurable.
"We are talking about leveraging this as a geographical centerpiece and an educational program worldwide that tells of the cultural, physical, 12-month pedestrian plan that emphasizes the nature of this remarkable community going into the 21st century," Waters said. "It would attract more international flights to our airport and sell Sarasota as a beautiful, pedestrian-friendly, world-class community."
Waters, meanwhile, is in the process of forming a new organization called Sarasota Vision Inc. to help promote and fund the project. The group, Waters said, already has a $250,0000 anonymous donation in place once the project is approved.
Parker and Waters both live at Golden Gate Point and marvel at the number of walkers and runners on the Ringling Bridge each morning.
"This is another 'Field of Dreams' for Sarasota," Parker said. "If you build it, they will come."

- An overpass across Gulfstream at Main Street was discussed several years ago. It remains the best and cheapest solution to crossing Gulfstream without traffic signals. Closing Main Street to car traffic may be a precarious endeavor. Chicago closed State Street many years ago to automobile traffic only permitting bus and taxi service. After many years of this nonsense and the destruction of many businesses, the so-called Mall was shut down and the street was reopened to automobile traffic--and very successfully so. Be careful what grandiose plans you make so they don't come back to bite you by destroying businesses. A potentially very expensive mistake.

- Re-routing US 41? really, and what other nieghborhood away from the Downtown/Bayfront condos are we going to re-route it? What other nieghborhood are we going to dump all that traffic on, just so the residents of downtown and our tourist will have this nice european style walkway to gawk at. US 41 along the bayfront is the most scenic drive in this area....build a walkway over it if you want , just leave the road there !

The league that can field only 2 teams for the game of 2 halves | Readings for 21 November 2006
St. Mary's Island, the main island of the 140-island archipelago, photographed 4 April 2006. (coalvillestation | Flickrâ"¢)
Hugh Town, Isles of Scilly, England | The smallest football league season in the world consists of two sides on this archipelago, once the province of pirates, off the southwest coast of England. "The weekly routine is the football equivalent of Groundhog Day," writes Steven Morris. Garrison Gunners and Woolpack Wanderers play 13 league games and two cup competitions, including the Daily Mirror Cup. "Lots of people turn up and sing 'Can we play you every week?' and each thinks they are the first to think of it," writes Charlie Connelly ("The Last British Football Team," Guardian Unlimited, 12 Oct 05). Morris adds:
[W]hat stops the players becoming too tribal is the school-playground-like selection procedure. At the start of each season the two captains sit down and pick new teams from the pool of available players to represent the yellow of Gunners or the claret of Wanderers.
On Boxing Day, Dec 26, is the annual match versus the islands' "old men." The problem in Scilly, with a population of some 2,000, is holding on to young people. With children leaving at 16 to continue their education on the mainland, "[o]ften they do not return until they are much older because there is little work for them outside the tourist season." (Guardian, 20 Nov 06)
Somalia | Islamic rulers label sport a satanic act
After assuming control of Mogadishu and much of southern Somalia in June, the Union of Islamic Courts banned sport during Ramadan as part of an imposition of Sharia law. The country has lacked central government since 1991. Now, Sheikh Hassan Dahir Aweys heads the Shura of the Islamic Courts Union with sports falling under the purview of a strict Islamist regime that has demanded an end to sports news and commentary.
Shafici Mohyaddin Abokar of the Somali Sports Press Association writes that domestic sport is "in its blackest period." Twenty-two children playing football in Mogadishu during Ramadan were detained for more than five hours until their parents pledged they would prevent the children from playing soccer in the future. Also, nine men were arrested for watching football on television and instructed to read the Qur'an.
Earlier, during the World Cup finals, a cinema owner and girl were killed as a crowd objected to soldiers trying to shut down the cinema in Dhuusa Marreeb where fans had gathered to watch the Italy–Germany semifinal. Militia fired into the crowd when some began throwing stones. Aweys said soldiers would be prosecuted under Islamic statutes ("Somalia Soccer Shooting Arrests," BBC, 6 Jul 06).
Some places had banned World Cup broadcasts due to the advertisements for alcohol, indicating inconsistencies in sports policy within the Islamists' zone of influence. Decisions concerning governance of women's sport have been postponed. An ICU information officer said sports had not been banned but that spectators must listen to "recordings … of Islamic verses from loud speakers mounted at all stadiums." (Play the Game, 20 Nov 06)
