Have you ever wondered about those curious animals and plants that grow off of docks, pylons, and other structures in the water? The BioDiscovery Project is an exciting new STEM (science-technology-engineering-math)-based citizen science education initiative designed to:
-
-
-
- Provide hands-on exploration of biofouling communities that colonize
Example of a biodisc. in fresh and saltwater environments.
- Connect students and teachers along a watershed and/or across the state through the collection of biodiversity and water quality data.
- Provide hands-on exploration of biofouling communities that colonize
-
-
- STEM skills through the design of biofouling equipment, incorporation data collection technology, calculation of biodiversity and water quality indicators, and engagement in the scientific process.
