Cheers!
The SciStarter Team
iSeeChange
iSeeChange has the charm of an old-fashioned almanac, partnered with user-generated content and the social networking of our modern world. It's where youcan share observations about your environment to monitor change and compare notes with neighbors.
Project BudBurst
When do the trees in your backyard leaf out? When do the wildflowers bloom? Are they earlier or later than last year? Project BudBurst needs volunteers across the United States to study phenology changes over time.
Monarch Larva Monitoring Project
The monarch butterfly population has declined drastically in the past decade and more people are needed to help study how monarchs vary in space and time. Monitor monarch eggs and larvae anywhere there is milkweed! Get Started!
Nature's Notebook
As climate change affects flora and fauna across the United States, citizen scientists are needed to study its impacts. Youcan choose from hundreds of plants and animals to observe and youcan join regional campaigns focused on issues in your area. Get Started!
Snapshots in Time
Doyou have wood frogs or spotted salamanders in your area? You'll learn soon enough if you participate in this project! Share your observations and help efforts to conserve these adorable amphibians.
Nature's Calendar Survey
Is your garden blooming in the U.K.? Did you see the first migratory bird of the season? Whether it's in your backyard, local park, or farm field, scientists want to know what you're seeing and when.
Meet the SciStarter team at theAtlanta Science Festival 3/21-28! Our next #CitSciChat on Twitter is Wednesday March 25th at 2-3pm ET, moderated by Caren Cooper @CoopSciScoop and presented by @SciStarter.
