Four Seasons of Citizen Science

In this STEM Kit, students will visit hands-on, STEM stations to learn about citizen science projects and develop their skills as naturalists and scientists. Students will learn to identify natural phenomena and species, collect and record data, and submit their data to citizen science platforms. STEM Kits are uniquely designed to support formal or informal use. They can be implemented as quick lessons between classroom units, in afterschool programming, science clubs, libraries, and at science nights. 

Hands-on Activities: 

• Cloud observations and identification 
• Bug identification and data collection 
• Tree identification and measurements 
• Snow crystal morphology and photography
• Submission of collected data to citizen science platforms
