Teenagers Exploring and Explaining Nature and Science (TEENS) summer program 2015

The Teenagers Exploring and Explaining Nature and Science (TEENS) summer program at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum offers students the opportunity to participate in scientific investigations of ecosystems found in city parks and neighborhoods. Participants collect data for existing local, regional and global research projects, and develop their own research questions to investigate. Students learn how to perform a wide range of environmental science field and laboratory methods to study the interactions of living and non-living components of urban ecosystems. Students also learn to use global positioning system (GPS) units to collect spatial data, and geographic information systems (GIS) software to analyze data and create visually appealing and informative maps of project data.
