Beginning a Project – Asking Questions of Your Campus
Resources that support the initial framing and launch of a citizen science project
As classes begin a citizen science project, both teachers and students are innately aware that students will be working to answer questions by collecting data without knowing the outcome. These place based, inquiry based projects open students up to the idea that they will be asking questions, gaining skill and then working to collect data to answer questions. Opening classes up to the inquiry of a citizen science project will allow teachers to join their students on the journey of discovery, becoming just as excited and engaged with the unknown. These resources will support the initial framing and launch of a citizen science project.
