SUMMARY:Citizen Science & eBird!
DESCRIPTION:We will collect data about our migrating birds using binoculars and field guides\, as well as a combination of CornellLab websites! First\, to get us prepared for expected migrants\, we will use BirdCast for our county’s predicted migration. Next\, to get us ready to identify our backyard birds\, we will double-check our field guides and backyard birds. Then\, we will then go out into the field\, observe what is on our playground\, and collect our data! Finally\, we will confirm our observations using allaboutbirds.org\, and enter our data into our eBird account. \nThis is in conjunction with SciStarter.org. \nThis event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public.

SUMMARY:I Heart Eau Claire Trees
DESCRIPTION:For the Wisconsin Science Fest\, Galaudet Gallery (GG) is looking at their current exhibit “I Heart Eau Claire Trees” through a science lens. GG is looking at trees as flora from Cave Paintings to Van Gogh and as matrices for organizing information from Plato to the current computer giant Apple (as in tree). For fun and to further our understanding of trees\, GG takes different paths to reach the same idea—“We love trees!”
