Citizen Science Salon is a partnership between Discover and SciStarter.org.
As we approach the dog days of summer, Sirius, the dog star, makes its appearance in the northern hemisphere. Ancient sky gazers thought the star brought scorching heat, fever, mad dogs and bad luck. So it’s only sensible to take our citizen science activities to the nearest body of cool ocean water. In that spirit, we present our annual Under the Sea collection of Little Mermaid-approved science projects.
