These enthusiastic and dedicated teachers brought along resource materials and examples of their students' work that demonstrated how the curriculum can be used to fulfill education goals in various subjects as well as science. Dr. Deborah Trumbull, a Cornell Professor of Education, and I presented a workshop at the National Science Teachers Association area conference in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in mid-November. In addition to describing the curriculum, we highlighted the educational outcomes that Dr. Trumbull has documented in students who participated in Classroom FeederWatch. Her data show that students have a good understanding of the scientific project in which they are participating. Two examples of student projects are described in the article above.
