Citizen science projects are research activities that allow  non-scientists to participate in data collection and make contributions  to many areas of science from ecology to astronomy. These projects are  sponsored by individuals, organizations and universities. Activities  vary widely from observing and counting birds to completing surveys on  pet behavior.

You will be creating a presentation researching one citizen science  project from the list below (or you may search the internet for a  citizen science project of your choosing). You do not have to  participate in the study to complete your assignment, but many of these  projects are available for citizen participation all over the world.

  1. Surfrider Foundation’s Blue Water Task Force
    Project goal is to monitor water quality at local beaches, bays, and ponds.

  2. Wildwatch Kenya
    Project goal is to count, identify and track the giraffes in conservation field sites through trail camera photos. https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/sandiegozooglobal/wildwatch-kenya
  3. The Great Backyard Bird Count
    Citizens collect data on the highest number of birds of each species seen together at one time.

Slides 8-9 – Conclusion
Summarize your project findings.

  • Why do scientists need the help of citizens to accurately answer their questions?
  • What are some of the pros and cons of using citizens to collect data?
  • Why is this research important?
  • What are the possible real world applications?

Slide 10—References
Please provide your sources in APA format including the link to your citizen project.

SLP Assignment Expectations

For this SLP assignment you will develop a PowerPoint Presentation  that is approximately 1-10 slides in length and addresses the  requirements outlined above.
