Abstract:
The editors of this book have a straightforward goal: to inspire you to engage your students through public collaboration in scientific research-also known as citizen science. The book is specifically designed to get you comfortable using citizen science to support independent inquiry through which your students can learn both content and process skills. Citizen Science offers you: Real-life case studies of classes that engaged in citizen science and learned authentic scientific processes and the habits of mind associated with scientific reasoning, and fifteen stimulating lessons you can use to build data collection and analysis into your teaching.
