Are you looking for a hands-on, authentic research experience to engage your learners in both data collection in the field and data analysis?

In addition, this course provides an opportunity to form a community with other educators and suggestions for additional classroom activities to support implementation in your unique educational setting. Your students can help answer a critical question in pollinator conservation by hands-on data collection and analysis.
