You have the knowledge—now it’s time for the adventure! The Backyard Explorer course turns your garden, local park, or schoolyard into a vast laboratory. In this final module, Junior Scientists learn the professional skills of "Citizen Science." We’ll learn how to track animals, identify mysterious plants, and keep a scientific record of the nature living right next door. You don’t need a laboratory to be a scientist; you just need your eyes, your ears, and a sense of wonder!
