iNaturalist teacher's guide
Here are a few notable examples of iNat tutorials and use in the classroom, including coursework, lesson plans, and protocols:
National Geographic has a BioBlitz guide (pdf) along with pre-BioBlitz and post-BioBlitz classroom materials that are aligned to Next Generation Science Standards and National Geography standards. Each classroom-tested activity was specifically tailored to use iNaturalist and contains all of the instructions, PowerPoint presentations, and worksheets on the hyperlinked pages.
CalAcademy's Science Action Club Bug Safari unit uses iNaturalist to explore small creatures with big environmental impacts. On local field expeditions, middle school youth search for bugs, collect specimens, and post photos to SAC's iNaturalist project. Designed for out-of-school time, SAC uses games, projects, and exciting investigations to inspire youth to explore nature, contribute to authentic citizen science research, and design strategies to protect the planet.
