Citizen Science Permission Slip

Trip#/Date/Location

Purpose

1) July 8-25, 2024

This summer, students will investigate the health of the NYC Watershed by collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing data. They will learn how to measure and evaluate the chemical, biological, and physical indicators that determine a river’s health. They will learn how to follow complex multistep procedures when carrying out experiments, taking measurements, or performing technical tasks. Students will also learn to organize and write up their findings in a scientific report.

2) July 26, 2024

This is an opportunity for students to present their three weeks of scientific research to an authentic audience. Students will be presenting the data that they collected and analyzed along with recommendations for improving the quality of the NYC watershed to community members, Teachers College staff and faculty, family members, and community organizers. This is an opportunity for students to reflect on their three weeks of scientific research and what it means to them and the community. It is also an opportunity for students to celebrate their accomplishments.
