Slide 3
Session Overview Defining citizen science Teaching with citizen
science Navigating the book and lessons Implementation
strategies
Slide 4
Projects in which volunteers partner with scientists to answer
real-world questions.
Slide 5
In citizen science, people everywhere report observations of
natural events using basic, scientific protocols.

Slide 13
Value in Data
Slide 14
Why Citizen Science? Gets kids outside Generates questions and
the opportunity for investigations Teaches STEM content and meet
science standards Environmental stewardship Access to real life
data Connects kids to the scientific community
Slide 15
Its fun its kids being scientists
Slide 16
Its Its learning Photo, MLMP photo gallery In the Monarch
Larvae Monitoring Program, youth bond over loving science!

and its and its real science! Monarch data predict ideal
breeding conditions will be found further north in the future.

Slide 25
Song or call? A song is a longer and more complex vocalization,
often with specific repeated patterns Usually used to attract mates
or defend territory A call is a shorter, simpler vocalization Used
to sound alarms, tell others about food, keep track of each other
Hey sweetie, come check out my awesome territory and my nice colors
