Citizen Scientists is a fantastic way to learn to be a scientist and learn about nature. It chooses a different population focus for each season: frogs, birds, monarch butterflies, and ladybugs. All of them tell about a national or international projects that anyone can join. Ladybugs are the focus for summer, and the Lost Ladybug Project has a website to upload photos, which has identified rare species all around the country. Getting involved in these types of projects are awesome ways for elementary and middle school kids to foster a love of nature and science.
