This is one of my favorite resources to engage anyone and everyone in citizen science! The genius behind this platform is the connection between researchers and the rest of us. Researchers and organization submit their studies that they need help with to be highlighted on the platform.
You can learn and help (really, actually help) researchers with topics ranging from penguins to botany, astronomy to bacteria, anti-slavery manuscripts to maturity of baby sounds!
Explore tons of projects from around the world.
How would you use this in your classroom? Independent project? Bringing authentic learning into the classroom? Compare and contrast—different student groups work on different projects then report out?
