Using Citizen Science to Engage Introductory Students: From Streams to the Solar System

We present two examples of citizen science learning activities, with discussion of how these activities align with teaching strategies shown to increase retention of under-represented minorities and improve learning for all students in science. For introductory science students from diverse backgrou...
