Description

This lesson was designed for the first 60 minutes of an in-person laboratory class meeting. Target student level is introductory biology for mixed majors/non-majors. The materials here include an instructor guide (1_LessonGuide_CountMeIn), an in-class presentation (Google slides; 2_PresentationSlides_CountMeIn), a homework assignment (3_Homework_CountMeIn), and a link to the interview with Dr. Jennifer Dean, (BioGraphI Interview with Dr. Jennifer Dean)

Content learning objective

  • Describe the importance of public participation in science (citizen-science, community science) for the detection of non-indigenous, invasive species.

Quantitative learning objectives 

  • Interpret graphs and/or data figures related to the concepts from this lesson
  • Reflect on your perceptions about using graphs or figures in biology.

Diversity/equity/inclusion learning objectives

  • Reflect on your perceptions of people who do biology.
  • Compare your own interests and/or identities to those of people who do biology.
