The California Academy of Sciences Citizen Science Toolkit is a free, downloadable resource designed to help teachers integrate real-world citizen science projects into classroom instruction or afterschool programs. The toolkit includes ready-to-use lessons, readings, and worksheets that introduce students to citizen science while building skills in observation, data collection, and scientific inquiry. Organized into three sections (Learn, Act, and Extend), it guides educators from understanding the concept of citizen science to designing their own projects and connecting activities to national standards. It empowers students to see themselves as contributors to authentic scientific research while supporting hands-on, inquiry-based learning.
tag(s): citizen science (43)
In the Classroom
Use the toolkit's "Learn" section to introduce students to citizen science. Have students read or explore examples, then create a simple anchor chart that defines citizen science and lists ways people contribute to real research. Following the ideas in the "Act" section, take students outside to observe and record data on plants, insects, or weather patterns. Students can document findings in journals or digital tools like NotebookLM, reviewed here, practicing real-world observation and recording skills. Using guidance from the toolkit, students can create their own citizen science-style project.
This resource requires PDF reader software like Adobe Acrobat.

The USGS "Tell Us!" (Did You Feel It?) earthquake event page is an interactive citizen science tool that allows you to report your personal experiences during an earthquake and view real-time data collected from others. On this page, participants enter details such as location, time, and their feelings, helping scientists gather valuable information about shaking intensity across different areas. The data is then used to create maps and visualizations that show how people experience earthquakes, complementing scientific measurements from seismic instruments. This resource provides an engaging way for students to explore earthquakes, understand how data is collected, and see how community contributions support scientific research.
tag(s): citizen science (43), earthquakes (52), natural disasters (21), weather (177)
In the Classroom
Present a recent earthquake event from the page and have students imagine they experienced it. Students can fill out a mock report describing what they would feel, see, and notice, helping them connect personal experience to scientific data collection. Have students analyze the intensity map on the site and identify patterns in the shaking (stronger vs. weaker). Have them compare locations and discuss why shaking varies with distance, terrain, and structures. Have students collect data points from the site (such as intensity levels or number of reports) and create graphs using Infographics Presentation Templates, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Planet Science (from Planet Labs) is a resource hub that showcases how satellite imagery and Earth data are used to study real-world environmental and global challenges. The site highlights scientific applications such as tracking climate change, monitoring deforestation, analyzing agricultural patterns, and responding to natural disasters, using high-resolution images captured daily by Planet's satellite network. It also connects educators and students to research programs, datasets, and examples of how scientists use geospatial data to better understand changes on Earth, making it a valuable tool for integrating real-world science, data analysis, and geography into classroom learning.
tag(s): agriculture (54), citizen science (43), climate change (116), data (213), earth (196), natural disasters (21)
In the Classroom
Show students before-and-after satellite images (deforestation, urban growth, natural disasters) from the site and ask them to observe and list changes. Students can act as "detectives," identifying patterns and making predictions about the causes of the changes. Assign small groups a real-world issue highlighted on the site (such as wildfires, climate change, or agriculture). Students can research how satellite data helps scientists understand the problem and present their findings through slides or posters using Adobe Creative Cloud Express, reviewed here. Using satellite images as inspiration, have students write an informational paragraph or narrative explaining what is happening in the image over time.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Stall Catchers is a free, interactive citizen science website where students and teachers can contribute to real-world research on Alzheimer's disease by playing a simple online game. Users analyze short microscope videos of mouse brain blood vessels to determine whether the blood is flowing or blocked ("stalled"), helping researchers at Cornell University process large amounts of data much faster than with traditional methods. Designed for all ages with built-in tutorials, the platform combines science, data analysis, and gamification, making it an engaging way to introduce students to authentic scientific inquiry, the role of data in research, and how collective effort can accelerate medical discoveries.
tag(s): citizen science (43), game based learning (304)
In the Classroom
Have students create accounts and participate in Stall Catchers during a set class time. Track the number of "stalls" each student identifies and set a class goal. After playing, ask students to explain how they determined whether blood flow was "flowing" or "stalled." Students can write about or discuss the visual clues they used, strengthening their evidence-based reasoning and close-observation skills. Have students design a digital poster or short presentation using Infographics Presentation Templates, reviewed here explaining Alzheimer's disease and how citizen science projects like Stall Catchers help researchers.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This deceptively simple-looking site offers an easy way to encourage continuous, non-stop writing. Users set a goal of either words or time and choose start. If you stop typing for too long, all your words vanish, creating pressure to keep moving and preventing over-editing or getting stuck. This exercise serves as a tool to encourage brainstorming, freewriting, overcoming writer's block, and practicing flow state writing.
In the Classroom
Use this tool to help students develop writing fluency so they can focus on ideas rather than grammar and spelling rules. Ghost Writer is also an excellent tool for activating schema when starting a new unit. Ask students to set the timer and write nonstop about what they know about the upcoming unit's content or what they don't know. In science class, use Ghost Writer as a hypothesis brain dump, or use it as part of reading lessons for students to share all they know about characters from a novel you are reading. Extend learning by asking students to take their ideas and develop them further in Google Docs or Microsoft Word.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This website features the annual Color Our Collections initiative organized by the New York Academy of Medicine Library. During the event, libraries, museums, and archives around the world share free downloadable coloring sheets and coloring books derived from rare-book illustrations, historical engravings, maps, anatomical drawings, botanical art, and other archival visuals. The purpose is to engage learners of all ages with primary-source materials in a creative and low-stakes way, encouraging exploration of historical collections while coloring. Teachers can use the materials as cross-curricular resources for social studies, science, visual arts, or literacy by having students observe details in the images, research their contexts, and then color and annotate them to deepen their understanding of the historical artifacts.
In the Classroom
After coloring, have students research the object, organism, or artifact featured on their page. They then write a short informational paragraph that explains its origin, use, and historical significance. Invite students to curate a classroom Pop-Up Museum. Students display their colored pages with captions, research notes, and fun facts. Have students choose a coloring page and complete a See, Think, Wonder observation prompt before coloring. They record details they notice, what they think the image represents, and questions they have about its time period or purpose.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
