SciGirls I Day 9 Old Cemetery

Today SciGirls I visited the Tallahassee Old Cemetery (est. 1829) to collected data on weathered headstones. This project is one of thousands of citizen science projects that can be found on The Network for Citizen Science !


Any SciGirl who is interested in participating in citizen science can look for projects of interest on this database, follow the data collection protocols outlined for each project and then upload their data! Help out scientists worldwide by getting involved in these cool projects!

Our project data will help scientists in Australia who studying global data on acid rain through using headstone erosion as a marker for pollution. You can read more about the gravestone project here at Earthtrek-Gravestone Project. Our data will be the first data entered for the Tallahassee region! Go SciGirls I--see some of our pictures here!
