      For my setting, positioning students as scientists is most important. I want them to understand how the process of science works and everyone can do it not just a select few.

        Yes! good thought, I agree that positioning students as scientists is a great way making everyone feel included and equal. It also gives them the opportunity to learn new things in a way that suits them best, meaning, they may discover they love researching literature or analyzing data!

      At my school, I run a nature club called Outdoor Masters. We will soon be participating in the Bird Academy FeederWatch program. I love the idea in the article of having a small group of students be the "bird watchers" before school to record the data. I could easly establish a small group within the club to do that.
