Science on the Prairie
Hands on research opportunities
Know and grow
One of the most effective ways to encourage the development of future scientists is to provide hands-on research opportunities for kids. Here at the Konza Prairie Biological Station we offer experiential activities that are based on the actual research done by site scientists.
Always question,
always wonder.
About critical thinking
Students collect data that, taken collectively, show trends and responses to environmental cues. This website presents this student-collected data for anyone to access for their classroom or individual project.
Knowledge is everything

data collection
Field data collection is a data collection project executed in person, in a specifically chosen physical location or environment.
03.
trends and responses
After data is collected, it can be analyzed by looking for trends, patterns, and relationships. Trends are general directions of data, such as an overall increase in temperature or pH.
