Project BirdWatch

邦尼观鸟计划是一个让中小学生参与真正科学的项目。康奈尔大学鸟类学实验室的鸟类学家利用学校里的孩子们收集的观察数据来研究鸟类的迁徙和种群。此外，在校本研究活动中，学生们学会了自己分析和发布数据。康奈尔鸟类学实验室和TERC合作的结果是一个课程，可以被教师采用，他们可以吸引鸟类到校园。《观鸟人学习指南》由教师指南、学生实地笔记以及数据收集、分析和通讯软件组成，是计划课程的各个部分。学生从项目中受益，学习科学内容，发展科学过程和数据分析技能，学习分享数据和交流发现，学习与其他学生、科学家及其家人合作进行研究。

9550541 Bonney Project BirdWatch is a program that allows elementary and middle- school students to participate in real science. Observational data, collected by children in the schools, is utilized by ornithologists at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology to study bird migrations and populations. Furthermore, in school-based research activities, the students learn to analyze and publish the data themselves. The outcome of this collaboration between the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology and TERC is a curriculum that can be adopted by teachers who can attract birds to the schoolyard. A BirdWatch Learning Guide, consisting of a Teacher's Guide, Student Field Notebook, as well as software for data collection, analysis and telecommunications are the various parts of the projected curriculum. Students benefit from the project by learning science content, developing skills in science process and data analysis, learning to share data and communicate findings and learning to work cooperatively on research with other students, scientists and their families.
