Citizen science projects are research activities that allow  non-scientists to participate in data collection and make contributions  to many areas of science from ecology to astronomy. These projects are  sponsored by individuals, organizations and universities. Activities  vary widely from observing and counting birds to completing surveys on  pet behavior.You will be creating a presentation researching one citizen science  project from the list below (or you may search the internet for a  citizen science project of your choosing). You do not have to  participate in the study to complete your assignment, but many of these  projects are available for citizen participation all over the world. Surfrider Foundation’s Blue Water Task ForceProject goal is to monitor water quality at local beaches, bays, and ponds.http://www.surfrider.org/programs/clean-water Wildwatch KenyaProject goal is to count, identify and track the giraffes in conservation field sites through trail camera photos. https://www.zooniverse.org/projects/sandiegozooglobal/wildwatch-kenya The Great Backyard Bird CountCitizens collect data on the highest number of birds of each species seen together at one time.http://gbbc.birdcount.org/Topics you should include in your presentation: Slide 1Title Slide with Name, Course and DateSlides 2-3- IntroductionIntroduction and  background on your chosen citizen science project, including what  questions are being asked and who is asking them. Include a summary of  why you chose this project: What is the problem(s) the researchers are trying to solve? Complete additional research to determine what is known about the problem(s). What questions would you like answered? Include supporting imagesSlides 4-5Describe any observations or  experiments that have been conducted to answer the research question(s).  How will this help answer the questions being asked? Include any  supporting images.Slides 6-7Add additional interesting facts you  gathered about the citizen project (this may require additional  research). Include any relevant images.Slides 8-9 – ConclusionSummarize your project findings. Why do scientists need the help of citizens to accurately answer their questions? What are some of the pros and cons of using citizens to collect data? Why is this research important? What are the possible real world applications?Slide 10—ReferencesPlease provide your sources in APA format including the link to your citizen project.SLP Assignment ExpectationsFor this SLP assignment you will develop a PowerPoint Presentation  that is approximately 1-10 slides in length and addresses the  requirements outlined above. Place the text containing the answers to  the questions above in the slide area, summarizing each topic using  bullet points (in your own words, you may expand in more detail using  the notes area). Use 4-5 bullet points per slide. Avoid using lengthy  sentences and paragraphs. Maintain consistent font sizes throughout the  presentation.Be sure to include citations referencing your sources on each slide  (use either the slide or notes area). Include a descriptive title for  each slide that describes the topic being discussed. Be sure to include a  title slide with your name, assignment type (ex. SLP Module 1) and  course title. Include a slide summarizing your project findings  (Conclusion slide). Your final slide should contain a list of references  cited in APA format.
