Zooniverse Research Projects
Earn service-learning hours online by participating in science projects through Zooniverse.
Help researchers around the world with tasks you can complete on your computer. Some
projects include monitoring wildlife cameras, climate patterns, deciphering botany
samples, or identifying marine invertebrates!
To get started, visit www.zooniverse.org and create an account. You may choose from any project, and you can track the classifications
you’ve completed from your profile page. In order to receive service-learning credit,
you must complete our Zooniverse Project Reflection form, which includes uploading a screenshot of your profile page and completed classification
number. Approximately fifty classifications equals one hour of service-learning credit.
Example Projects
Snow Spotter: Help hydrologists from the University of Washington analyze forest-snow interception
patterns by examining timelapse photos.
Mapping Change: Help us use over a century's worth of specimens to map the distribution of animals,
plants, and fungi. Your data will let us know where species have been and predict
where they may end up in the future!
Penguin Watch: Count penguins, chicks, and eggs in far away lands to help us understand their lives
and environment.
Cedar Creek: Eyes on the Wild: Help researchers untangle the complex and surprising interactions among North American
fauna!
Killer Whale Count: Identify and count killer whales to determine if their predation is causing Steller
sea lion declines!
Whale Chat: Identification and classification of humpback whale vocalizations.
Cradle of Humanity: Help National Museums of Kenya to transcribe vertebrate fossil specimen cards into
a database.
Jovian Vortex Hunter: Help us find interesting features in Jupiter's atmosphere!
