This site contains several projects related to math and science. They involve data collection and analysis.

=Daffodil and Tulip Project= Students in different parts of the world plant bulbs together and collect data on various parameters (latitude, longitude, sunlight, temperature etc.) and track when they blossom

**The Global Water Sampling Project** [] This is a collaboration designed to investigate and share information on the quality of water around the area of your school. This program is available in the spring and fall, currently 3/23/09 – 5/26/09

Human Genetics [] Participants in this project will survey phenotypic traits of classmates and schoolmates, compile data with students from around the world, and analyze data to determine if the prevalent phenotype is the dominant allele. Additional note: This looks like a great project to expand this basic classroom lab to a global scale! = =

__The International Boiling Point Project:__ The purpose of this project is to discover which factor in the experiment (room temperature, elevation, volume of water, or heating device) has the greatest influence on boiling point. Anyone can participate in this year's project. All you have to do is boil a bit of water, record a bit of information, and send it along to us to include in the database of results. Then, students can analyze all of the data to reach an answer to the question: What causes a pot of water to boil? []

 * Title:** OF2 - Our Footprints, Our Future
 * Summary:** "(OF)2: Our Footprints, Our Future!" is an international initiative that encourages youth (ages 19 and younger) from around the world to use online tools and resources to measure their carbon footprint and develop ways to reduce their carbon usage. The goal is for one million students around the world to join together with their families, their schools, and their communities to reduce the total global carbon footprint.

Project Bud Burst [] Summary: Project Bud Burst looks at the first germination, first flower, first leaf, and many other seasonal plant development. Many species of vegetation throughout North America are observed, recorded, and shared.

Global Classroom Project [] Summary: The Global Classroom Project is a unique, global, research project, where children will become scientist during 10 days. 300 schools from countries such as USA, China, Brazil, Argentina, Japan, South America, Bolivia, Egypt, Spain, Germany, Australia, Great Britain, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden will be invited to participate in one of the world’s largest scientific projects for children. In 10 days from the 28. September to the 7. October 2009, all the children’s homes will be transformed to scientific measuring stations. We are going to measure the rainfall in more than a thousand different places around the world. The children should measure the amount of rain every day with the same discipline as if they were scientists and afterwards they should put their results up on the project’s web page. Here it will be possible for the children to compare their results with the other children – both with the children that they go to school with and the children from the schools around the world.
