Citizen Science: Two Lessons
Students will learn that average citizens and even students can make meaningful contributions to science through citizen science. Students will learn about some of the different types of citizen science during the lessons. In lesson one, they will learn about the Zooniverse citizen science project and try it for themselves. In lesson two, they will learn about the Fold-It citizen science project and try it out for themselves. They will also be encouraged to think of other places where citizen science could potentially be used.
