“Understanding Biodiversity Using Clay Caterpillar Decoys” Peter Park/Farmingdale State College Understanding Biodiversity Using Clay Caterpillar Decoys
Community science happens when public participation is incorporated in the scientific process. The time-tested clay caterpillar decoy method is being used as community science to explore the vast biodiversity that naturally resides on the Farmingdale State College campus. This work is student-focused and culminates in teacher-student co-development of novel classroom activities focused on enhancing data literacy. This effort also incorporates the use of free online statistics web-tools, making learning stats both fun and free.
