"The updated NYS Next Gen Science Standards Cross Cutting Concepts blended beautifully into the Citizen Science opportunities for MS and HS Life Science courses. Students collected data on local trees through Project BudBurst in an effort to contribute to phenology research. Students selected local conservation issues that were based in phenology and analyzed data through the lenses of the CrossCutting Concepts. To transfer learning, teams developed their research into infographics to share knowledge with a broader audience. In this session you will learn more about Citizen Science activities for all age groups, processes to analysing data with students, and developing infographics on PikToChart. In cooperation with James Pier, RJ’ MS and HS Life Science instructor @ Red Jacket. "

We will explore many options that are available. And since they’re all web-based, you are no longer restricted to using a legacy Windows platform. Join us as we embrace the freedom that anytime, anyplace web-based tools can give us!
