Final SciGirl Videos

The final 2011 SciGirls' videos are ready for viewing.
On the second to last day of camp, SciGirls I participated in some citizen science. They traveled to the Tallahassee Cemetery to measure the effects of erosion on tombstones. Their data was uploaded to a website where people from across the country can also upload their local data and analyze the results.

SciGirls II traveled to Leon Sinks to measure the height, size, and orientation of various orb weaving spider webs. They worked with Dr. Alyssa Hayes, who then helped them analyze the data to determine that each species occupied its own niche.


Thanks again to all of our scientists and SciGirl volunteers for making this another great summer.
