SUMMARY:PRE-FESTIVAL EVENT: Leave No Trash
DESCRIPTION:Using the citsci.org platform and the Citizen Science Project “Leave No Trash”\, we will collect litter 3-4 times this school year\, on school grounds\, in an attempt to determine the type\, amount\, and location over the seasons (fall\, winter\, spring\, possibly before school is out in June/summer). \nFrom the “Leave No Trash” project description: “(we will be) picking up litter we see and recording the type\, amount\, and location…(by doing this) we are not only removing it from the environment\, we also can better understand how and why it got there in the first place and take steps to reduce litter at the source.” \nWe will complete this project in cooperation with Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance’s education program (formerly Madison Audubon) and is a contribution to SciStarter.org. \nThis event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public. \n

SUMMARY:Migration Obstacles & Bird Collision Corps
DESCRIPTION:Migration season is upon us! We will be learning about migration obstacles through an interactive educational activity/obstacle course that teaches students about physical challenges and environmental hazards that migratory birds face on their journey. \nAdditionally\, we will be focusing in on Southern Wisconsin Bird Alliance’s (SWBA) “Bird Collision Corps” Citizen Science opportunity\, hoping to participate in the spring. From SWBA’s website: “Bird-window collisions kill over 1 BILLION birds every single year in the United States. That shocking number can be drastically reduced when communities work together to ensure windows that are most problematic for birds are treated to prevent collisions. Typically\, the first step in making change in your community is to collect data on when\, where\, and to what extent the problem is happening. That’s where the Bird Collision Corps (BCC) program comes in.” \nBoth events are in collaboration with SWBA’s education program. \nThis event is just for students at Lincoln Elementary; this event is not open to the general public.

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.
