Global Citizen Science 8
Citizen science projects can inspire local actions that address global challenges. Share this infographic with your students and ask them to pick which of the three featured projects they would be most interested in joining. Then ask them to describe the focus and purpose of that project, the actions taken, and why the issue matters to them.
Have students use the database on SciStarter to find at least one other project that could inspire local action. Ask them to describe the action they would take and what kind of challenge it would address. You may want to investigate whether there are local citizen science projects and actions that your class could participate in together.
