Kids Blitz Nature To Learn About Biology - Justin O'Neill

In March, the Natonal Parks Service and National Geographic collaborated to host Bioblitz 2014 at San Francisco's Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is a series of parks clustered around the city and the San Francisco Bay. The event functions both as an active inventory where scientists are able to find and document every species of plant, animal, insect, water-living microbes, and even bacteria in all of the parks. Also, children are active participants in hopes of capturing their imagination and encouraging them to pursue studies in science. National Geographic Weekend producer Justin O'Neill learned just how children are able to help create viable scientific results.
