Do you think scientifically?

Each month, you can contribute data to answer a "simple" question about the natural world. Along the way, you might learn something new about science! Let's get started! This month's question:

What is the mass of two liters of water?

Your challenge:

Figure out the mass of two liters of water and submit your data by clicking on the link below. We'll reveal all of the data at the end of the month. And remember - anyone from 4 to 104 can participate, so gather your measuring tools and start splashing!

*Hint: Your measurement must be in kilograms

Citizen Science Opportunities

Citizen science projects are a great way for anyone to get involved in learning about and contributing to science. Individual volunteers or networks of volunteers, many of whom may have no specific scientific training, perform or manage research-related tasks such as observation, measurement or computation.
