\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Designed for out-of-school settings in collaboration with New York State 4-H and the New York State Network for Youth Success, these 11 hour-long lessons use birds and the eBird participatory-science project as the spark to get youth ages 8-15 excited about nature and inspire them to view themselves as scientists. Through hands-on activities, youth explore what it means to be a scientist, learn to identify birds, contribute to real scientific projects, and design an action project to help birds in their own communities. These activities use the Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s powerful tools, like the free Merlin Bird ID app, make teaching bird ID and engaging in participatory science easy for leaders, creating meaningful growth opportunities for youth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The free leader’s guide comes complete with student journal pages and artwork that can be assembled to create life-size bird images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
