incorrect answer(s)

Explanation:

Citizen science projects involve public participation in scientific research. Stormwater analysis by students, BioBlitz events, and breeding bird surveys all involve citizens (students, locals) contributing to scientific data collection (water system analysis, biodiversity cataloging, bird counting). Earning a biology degree is an educational pursuit, not citizen - science. Donating to a zoo is a financial contribution, not scientific data - collection participation.

Answer:

Correct Answer(s): stormwater analysis by students of their local water systems, BioBlitz events in which locals help catalog the biodiversity of an area, breeding bird surveys in which locals count the number of birds in their area
Incorrect Answer(s): earning an undergraduate biology degree, donating to a local zoo
