Citizen Scientist Air allows your students to document and track current atmospheric conditions (temperature, wind, clouds). They can explore changes over time and share their findings with peers around the World.

Grades: 6-8.

Citizen Scientist Air is part of a suite of Citizen Scientist Discovery Apps for middle school students that cover topics in Life, Earth, and Environmental Sciences.

Citizen Scientist Plant was developed in collaboration with Jason Learning, an educational not-for-profit organized by the National Geographic Society and Sea Research Foundation to connect students with “great explorers and great events” to inspire and motivate them to learn science.

Es wird spät!

Mit dieser App haben Sie die neusten Informationen immer auf einem Blick! Ob es das aktuelle Programm ist oder der Lageplan der vielen Stände auf der NIGHTofSCIENCE - Sie haben alles dabei auf Ihrem Smartphone!

Die NIGHTofSCIENCE bietet Schülern, Studierenden und Bürgern, den Campus Riedberg der Goethe-Universität außerhalb des alltäglichen Trubels kennenzulernen. In über 40 Vorträgen stellen die Dozenten der naturwissenschaftlichen Fachbereiche ihre Forschungsgebiete auf einem leicht verdaulichen Niveau vor. Die NIGHTofSCIENCE soll dazu beitragen, die oft als stiefmütterlich wahrgenommenen Naturwissenschaften der breiten Bevölkerung nahezubringen und alltäglichen Phänomenen wissenschaftlich auf den Grund zu gehen.

Das Programm ist hier als PDF zu finden: http://www.nightofscience.de/files/NoS2013_Programmplan.pdf

Während der Veranstaltung werden an allen Theken kostenlos ausgedruckte Pläne verteilt. Ein separates Ausdrucken des Plans ist nicht nötig.

"Contribute to a world-wide citizen science project." (The Guardian)
"Find out exactly how bad the light pollution is." (Chandra Clarke, citizensciencecenter.com)
"The app couldn't be easier to use, and you can even learn different constellations along the way." (Nicholas Fordes, plos.org)

UPDATE: You can get more information about the project and first results at http://lossofthenight.blogspot.com

Take part in a world-wide citizen science project that measures star visibility and light pollution. Help create a database for research on health, environment and society by telling scientists which stars you can see at your location.

In many parts of the world, the night sky shines with waste artificial light from poorly designed street lamps. This light pollution spoils the beauty of the stars and changes the natural environment.
But light pollution is not only a problem for astronomy. Scientists all over the world are studying how light pollution affects health, society, and the environment. Based on the well-known Google Sky Map, this app is a tool to measure star visibility without expensive equipment. Just look up to the sky, find certain stars, and tell us whether you can see them or not!

Using the Loss of the Night app is fun, educational, promotes citizen science, and is an active contribution to protect the environment.

Stargazing connects you to the universe, especially in places free of light pollution. Find out how many stars you can see, and compare it to other areas on the GLOBE at Night map. Learn about the stars and constellations, and find places where you can still see the Milky Way. If you’re lucky enough to live in such a place, let others know! Counting stars is a great experience and family activity!

Make a change! Most light pollution is caused by bad lamp design, although overly lit areas contribute as well. By finding areas with good lighting design, you will help other communities learn what works. This will keep our bedrooms darker, and the sky full of stars. Proper design also saves energy and money!
Take an active part in science! The Loss of the Night app allows students to measure light pollution and star visibility for their own science projects, and at the same time become part of a global citizen science network. Measurements are sent anonymously to the GLOBE at Night database (www.GLOBEatNight.org), a citizen science project that has monitored light pollution since 2006. GLOBE at Night creates worldwide maps of star visibility and light pollution, which scientists can use to analyse correlations between light pollution and health, biodiversity, life quality, and many more factors.

You are also welcome to get into contact with the light pollution researchers from Verlust der Nacht that built this app, and learn about their other projects (www.verlustdernacht.de). The app provides some basic information on the history, importance, and consequences of artificial light at night.

Use this table to convert the faintest star you saw into an estimate
of how many stars you can see at your location:

magnitude: stars in sky
0-1: 2-8
1-2: 8-25
2-3: 25-100
3-4: 100-250
4-5: 250-800
5: thousands

At present, only German language Open Naturguides packages are available; please contact us by email if you are interested in collaborating in producing an English version! Below we repeat the German text for those being erroneously presented the English version:

Der NaturLotse bietet Ihnen einen mobilen Zugang zu den auf der Web-Plattform Offene-Naturfuehrer.de erstellten Naturführern und Bestimmungshilfen für Pflanzen, Tiere, Pilze und Flechten. Da diese unter OpenSource-Lizenzen erarbeitet werden, können Naturbeobachter, Nationalparkführer oder Lehrkräfte diese Bestimmungshilfen (für das Smartphone oder ausgedruckt) an Freunde oder Teilnehmer von Exkursionen kostenfrei weitergeben.

Erste Bestimmungshilfen stehen bereits fertig für die praktische Nutzung zur Verfügung. Beispiele sind: "Amphibien", "Reptilien", "Wirbellose Tiere im Bach" oder "Holzpflanzen". Wir freuen uns auf ihre Kritik und Verbesserungsvorschläge aufgrund praktischer Erfahrungen!

Andere Projekte, z.B. eine vollständige Exkursionsflora, bedürfen noch einiger Arbeit. Das Besondere an diesem Projekt ist, dass es kein fertiges kommerzielles Verlagsprodukt ist, sondern eine Plattform auf der Sie selbst Ihre Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen einbringen können, sei es in Form von Verbesserungsvorschlägen oder durch das Erstellen neuer Naturführer. Ähnlich wie im Fall von Open-Source Software (z.B. Linux) kann das Ergebnis immer wieder verbessert werden und es können möglichst viele interessierte Menschen erreicht werden.

Wenn Sie eine mobile Internetverbindung haben, können Sie die Bestimmungshilfen (= Schlüssel) ohne Hilfe der NaturLotse-App direkt über den Webbrowser nutzen. Wir empfehlen jedoch sie mit Hilfe der App zu Hause auf ihr Mobilgerät zu kopieren. Anschließend können Sie sie in der Natur offline nutzen.

Naturlotse wird von den Mitarbeitern von http://offene-naturführer.de und http://naturgucker.de entwickelt. Wir bitten herzlich um Ihre Unterstützung – bitte schicken Sie uns eine E-Mail (s. unten)!
