The GENIQUEST project is an NSF-funded project of the Maine Mathematics and Science Alliance, The Concord Consortium and The Jackson Laboratory. GENIQUEST aims to bring current bioinformatics concepts and research techniques to secondary science students. In GENIQUEST, we integrate innovative approaches in science instruction from MMSA, data sets and genetics research knowledge from the Jackson Laboratories and a robust genetics modeling environment from the Concord Consortium into an intriguing biology computing environment that spurs student investigation and inquiry."
"Google Earth Engine brings together the world's satellite imagery - trillions of scientific measurements dating back almost 40 years - and makes it available online with tools for scientists, independent researchers, and nations to mine this massive warehouse of data to detect changes, map trends and quantify differences on the Earth's surface. Applications include: detecting deforestation, classifying land cover, estimating forest biomass and carbon, and mapping the world's roadless areas."
of the exciting research conducted by the Smithsonian Institution and its collaborators around the world, and to highlight the incredible diversity of wildlife that exists in a range of habitats across the globe.
"The Education program for Biodiversity Snapshots was developed by Museum Victoria and is designed to have strong links to the Victorian curriculum, although the ideas could be adapted for any curriculum. Participating in Biodiversity Snapshots will require students to work in the classroom before and after a fieldtrip into their school yard, local park or bushland. Click through to Museum Victoria's Education pages to find resources to guide classroom and outdoor activities during all stages of the Biodiversity Snapshots program. There are introductory activities, research techniques and online tools that you will need to carry out your project. "
