= Mrs. Kuzma's Gravestone Project Homepage = = = Since the advant of the internet, collecting and sharing scientific information has become very easy. Citizen scientists are everyday people who take time to collect data, organize the data, and then submit it to the online community to be used in a beneficial way. My middle school students at Bennett Middle School are citizen scientists. They are participating in the Operation Gravestone project. The purpose of this project is to collect information from cemeteries in Wicomico County, Maryland. Data that is collected includes:

1. The GPS location of the gravestone 2. The name, birth and death dates listed on the stone 3. The maximum height and width measurements of the stone 4. General observations about the stone 5. Possible biographical information of the occupant(s) of the grave 6. Photos of the gravestone

On the side you will see tabs for each of the cemeteries cataloged in the county. Feel free to explore each. If you have any questions or concerns, or if you would like to participate in Operation Gravestone please email me at akuzma@wcboe.org
