B

As a kid， Joanna Buckley wasn’t interested in science ——until she had a

chance to try it. That happened when she got a chemistry set for Christmas。

"Over the course of a few weeks, I'd completed every experiment。 But in the

process, I polluted my parent’s dining room carpet and burn t the kitchen work top

with the spirit burner, ” she says.

Now science is Buckley's job。 She works in the chemistry department at the

University of Sheffield in England. ”I realize, first—hand， how important it is to

have something or someone to show you why science is so great," she says. Now the

good news is that citizen science appears.

Citizen science takes the fun of experimenting a step further than Buckley's

at-home chemistry kit. That’s because these experiments are real, looking for novel

answers。

"Compared with a one-off experiment, what’s cool about citizen science is that

students get that this has a purpose，" Prunuske says. ”Students want to do a good job，

because they know scientists are going to use the new data in their own research。”

Long agrees。 ”Kids like that it’s real. And they like that it’s important, that it

matters。 ” Citizen—science

projects have made big discoveries. One found a previously unknown galaxy cluster

(星系团）。Another project helped assess how much damage a big earthquake had

caused in Japan。 And one of the first citizen-science projects helped scientists learn

where butterflies go every winter.

Some adults worry about teens losing interest in science. That's one reason they

hope that fun, exciting citizen-science projects can help them keep in touch, Long

says。 And she has some evidence that it's working, ”Last year， we did have a couple

of students say, ’I really think I want to be a scientist now.
