Rules:
19
- Structure must be 6" or more in height
- Test structure on shake table, and
see whose holds up!
- Goal is earthquake resistant, or
earthquake proof? Can suffer
damage, but not collapse!

What I Value About the Land Citizen Science project
• New place-based citizen science project coming Spring 2020
• Tied to a National Science Foundation research grant to Montana State University, University of Wyoming and University of South Dakota
• Encourages participants to think about how the land around us is used:
AgricultureEnergyRecreationCultural/spiritual, etc....And why each of us value those uses in different ways

What I Value About the Land
• Can be used with youth, teens or adults in informal education settings
• Libraries and other organizations can apply for a physical kit (Resources will also be available for digital download)
• Potential activities include photo monitoring, historical research, journaling/reflection, arts, interviews
• Will also tie to GLOBE Observer Land Cover

Globe Observer Land Cover
36
- Land cover changes can alter temperature, rainfall, how water flows, and can greatly affect the general biosphere
- Taking pictures of the land cover can help researchers create more detailed information for an area’s vulnerabilities and changes
Tutorial: In the app, you will be prompted on how to take proper photos
