#BackyardBio for Classrooms

Want a fun way to connect students and families with nature? Check out BackyardBio.net!
Our friends at Exploring by the Seat of Your Pants have put together this really exciting initiative for September to engage more people in nature observation around the world. Here's the scoop:

"To start the 2020/2021 school year, we think it's important for students to explore the biodiversity around them and realize that they can play a role in protecting it. The start of this school year will be very different for students everywhere, some will be in the classroom, some will be at home, others still will be doing a hybrid of some sort. What all students can do is get excited about the natural world, explore it, learn more about it and share their discoveries with students everywhere."

Join in #BackyardBio:

1) Register your classroom.
2) Turn them loose in their communities with the iNaturalist and Seek apps.
(We suggest starting with this resource: https://www.inaturalist.org/pages/teacher's+guide)
3) Share photos via Instagram and Twitter using #BackyardBio
4) Join a virtual event with classrooms from other geographical locations.
5) Check out some exciting resources to immerse your students in the fascinating world of biodiversity.
