NGSS and the NEW Wisconsin Science Standards emphasize doing science investigations and developing explanations over learning disconencted facts and theories. Citizen Science is a practical and fun way to achieve this goal. Students can collect data in your school and community and contribute to ongoing research, or create investigations of their own. We will explore data apps that allow students at any grade to log their observations and even identify unknown organisms using "facial" recognition. This session will take an integrated approach as well, looking at how this approach can bring in math, art, social studies, physical education and career education. Let's Take it Outside and do some STEM in the outdoors!
Learning outcomes include:
- Understand the instructional shifts called for in the new Wisconsin Science Standards.
- Discover citizen science efforts and data apps appropriate for your grade level, PK-12.
- Explore how to best implement citizen science in to your students' learning.
- Connect citizen science activities with Wisconsin Science Standards at your grade level.
