Description
Book SynopsisThere's nothing greater than collecting data!
Investigate the world of insects through observation and scientific research. Study habitats, life cycles, food webs and much more through step-by-step experiments, and contribute to the scientific community by sharing your collected data as a citizen scientist.
Citizen Scientist presents and extends key curriculum topics through data collection tasks and simple research projects, some of which form part of larger public surveys in the US and the UK. Readers will be guided on how to present their findings using graphs and other infographic devices. This series will also draw links between these projects and the wider environmental and scientific context, inspiring readers to engage with their local area and make positive changes. This series is the perfect introduction to scientific investigation for KS2 students aged 9+.
