Goals for Citizen Science Module

The key components of my Paleontology Module that incorporates citizen science are the measurements the students are taking for the shark teeth they find.  Their measurements will be recorded into a data table and a graph and sent back to Dr. Gates at the Natural Research Center.  The success of each component depends on the students taking the correct measurements and entering them into the table correctly and looking for all the available shark teeth in their sample.  The students will complete a lot of practice before they are ready to take proper measurements and so they feel comfortable finding shark teeth.
