Cross-Topic Connections
📋 What it is
Citizen science links observing, measuring, and analysing — one method used across every nature topic.
🗣️ Coach says
Citizen science uses ONE method across many topics: observe carefully, measure consistently, record honestly, and share so others can analyse. Whether you’re watching birds, testing water, or tracking weather, it’s the same reliable cycle. Master the method and you can study almost anything in nature.
