Neil Cummings Whether you’re a fan of imperial or metric, this past Sunday was the day to celebrate the way we measure our surroundings. What better way to celebrate a day dedicated to measurement than to participate in a citizen science project where you weigh (or measure) something for science? We’ve pulled together some special projects that ask you to do just that: weigh or measure something in your kitchen, yard or the galaxy! Cheers! The SciStarter Team

What’s behind the magic of sourdough bread? Create your own sourdough starter over the course of 10 days following detailed instructions and collect data along the way. Scientists are interested in how different flours contribute to the “microbial zoo” that makes a sourdough starter successful, and how they affect bread flavor and texture. Great for classrooms, home bakers or the genuinely curious! Get Started!
