The Nature Watchers Ecological Study
Thank you for participating in the 3rd-5th Grade Nature Watchers Citizen Science Project.  The Nature Watchers wanted to know: How does the weather and temperature affect the plants and animals in my neighborhood? They determined that carefully observing three one meter square quadrats twice a day was a good method for collecting information from across Tucson and beyond. We appreciate you taking the time to stop and watch nature with our young scientists! Please enter your data and be sure to answer all questions! The final results will be posted on the SARSEF website after May 21st!
