Science we can do together.
One of the most important aspects of the SciStarter mission is to help people of all ages discover and get involved in real-world science: citizen science. Through citizen science, we help scientists answer questions they cannot answer on their own. When we engage in citizen science, we make and share observations, analyze data, begin to formulate questions, experiment, and ultimately construct a deeper understanding about the world, all while advancing important areas of scientific research!
We hope the projects and resources on this page help support parents, guardians, and formal and informal educators seeking at-home STEM resources. Note: Participants need to be 13 or older to upload project data on their own.
Citizen science is an excellent way to address these Science & Engineering Practices of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS).
