Welcome to ScienceLand. It's a lot like YogurtLand, but there's no yogurt and it's free.

Research and Education
Ever wanted to get involved with science? Not just read about it, or watch videos online, but to do actual scientific research. Since 2011 I've been working with various institutions, such as museums and universities, to get students experience with collecting data, running experiments, as well as performing various types of analysis. If you're interested in working with a research group, or want support with developing your own research project, please check out some of the research pages below and contact me at levisimons@gmail.com. Articles about my work.


 * Recent projects**
 * DECO || ScumScan || Safecast || @SCARAB ||
 * Air Quality || SEAL || Reefquest ||  ||
 * LARiver || Food Diversity || BioSCAN ||  ||

Many of these projects are done in the vein of citizen science. What is citizen science, and how can one get involved? [|Public Laboratory of Open Technology and Sciences for Los Angeles] Various citizen science projects Archive of older student work Articles

Physics
I've also taught high school physics, and have an interest in helping support other teachers in developing projects for their classrooms. Below is my physics curriculum.
