Education Resources to Start Preparing for CNC

Thanks to all the teachers who came to our iNaturalist training session last week! I just wanted to put a few links to education resources here to help you plan.

The CNC Education Working Group has a great set of resources (full disclosure: I helped put some of these together) accessible on the main CNC page: http://citynaturechallenge.org/education-toolkit/ The main page here has three basic getting started documents and then you can choose a grade band that's appropriate for you and find a list of 3-4 activities with descriptions (time, preparation, NGSS standards, etc.).

I mentioned this one from ESA during the training: http://www.esa.org/tiee/vol/v14/experiments/clement/abstract.html It's called "Exploring how climate will impact plant-insect distributions and interactions using open data and informatics"

Here is a general Citizen Science Toolkit from California Academy of Sciences: https://www.calacademy.org/educators/citizen-science-toolkit
