In the spring of 2021, the Washington, DC metro area will experience a rare and amazing natural phenomenon — the emergence of Brood X (Ten) periodical cicadas. We have designed this notebook as a teaching tool to help students investigate many fascinating aspects of this phenomenon.
This digital notebook will help students become knowledgeable and curious scientists. As a friend to cicadas, students can help us replace fear with fascination as we explore this amazing wonder of nature together.
