Postdoc opportunity CLOSING TODAY with the @LBDScience team, part of the @SCOPE_RG at @SydneyChemistry with @all_isee and Prof Peter Rutledge, Dr Chris Preston from @ArtSS_Sydney and Dr @wingtags - #CitizenScience in #schools : usyd.wd3.myworkdayjobs.com/e…
@CitSciOZ
We have also just released a participant report that describes both the advantages for #students through participation in #CitizenScience and the challenges of implementing citizen science within schools.

The long-awaited mapping of #CitizenScience to the #Curriculum is here! We are delighted to share this comprehensive mapping of #CitSci to Stage 4 of #NSWSyallbus. More details and the full document can be found on our website:

They also have curriculum aligned classroom units for all ages of students about topics like #ClimateChange, #Ecosystems, and animal adaptations! gbrmpa.gov.au/about-us/resou…

If you aren't located nearby, they also have a virtual connection program where you can experience the reef from your own classroom 👀 while participating in #curriculum aligned programs! gbrmpa.gov.au/the-reef/learn…

Did you know that the @gbrmarinepark 🐠🐡 has a school #CitizenScience project? If you’re in a #school nearby to the reef you can participate in the #ReefGuardian Schools project to improve reef health. gbrmpa.gov.au/our-work/our-p…

If you are a #teacher in Australia and have not participated in the #LerningByDoing survey – its still not too late - bit.ly/LearnHandsOn 3/4
The most prominent reasons for NOT engaging with #CitizenScience in #schools was #teachers unawareness of available #CitSci projects, or of citizen science more generally.
Our goal in #LerningByDoing is to change this reality. 2/4

What are #teachers interested with in #CitizenScience?
Our survey data indicate teachers are more likely to use #CitSci in their lessons if they are curriculum aligned and if they include interactions with #scientists. 🧵/4
#ResearchWendesday #LerningByDoing @ACARAeduau
Excited about #ScienceEducation and #CitizenScience research? We have an opening for a postdoc position to join the #LearningByDoing team!

It's #ResourcingMonday! Today we want to share #AustralianCurriculum linked science resources developed by @Coral_Watch🐠 for year 1 and 7 about #MarineScience and coral reef health.

We've been enjoying #CitSciOz21 and have a favour to ask of the community - can you share or complete our #teacher survey about #CitizenScience use in schools? Aussie teachers who do/don't use #CitSci can complete it @ bit.ly/LearnHandsOn

Current primary and high school teachers can participate by completing an up to 10 min online survey. Visit bit.ly/LearnHandsOn. Please share with others who may be interested. This research is being conducted as part of the Learning By Doin project, by the University of Sydney.
