Abstract

Abstract : Aligning the goals of scientists and participants becomes more challenging when citizen science moves into middle‐ and high‐school classrooms. Here, we describe a logic model developed in association with the Acadia Learning Project, a collaboration among scientists, teachers, and students that successfully meets both research and educational needs. The logic model is intended to assist other classroom‐based citizen‐science initiatives with project design and evaluation.
