Citizen+Science

===The term “ citizen science ” is used to refer to scientific projects which harness students as volunteers. Citizen science gets students involved with and interested in scientific inquiry and the natural world, and it also helps scientists immensely, allowing them to embark on studies of very large scope and generating a great deal of data to work with. A number of organizations sponsor ongoing or annual citizen science projects like the Christmas Bird Count of the Audubon Society, and information about these projects is usually readily available on their websites and in their offices, for people who are interested.
