I think one issue is that it's never been super well organized, but maybe we should make a new one called "multispectral-photography"? Other ideas?

I'm trying to figure out where to organize the list of tools that are used for infrared imaging, and what experiments / observations can be done with them.Thanks!--Liz Barry

For the topic title I like Jeff's idea to broaden the scope but have a slight preference for multispectal imaging instead of photography.
One editorial note is that the "PDF"link in the last paragraph isn't working for me.
A couple sections that could be added are radiometric calibration (converting pixels to physical values) and image stitching/ mosaicking. These are two tasks that folks seem to be interested in applying and we have a few research notes already.
For the comparison of methods we could have a section on camera and filter selection criteria with details about the different options and advantages/drawbacks of each.
That's all for now but and happy to add more if useful.

Reporting in from travels, I like the name "activities" as well but I can see the need/appropriateness for both.
I responded to an earlier thread with an idea for a "status" column which could indicate if it's a proposal, a draft, if it's seeking specific kinds of input, etc etc. Regardless of how we display it, well have to make it easier for people to sort to see ones that are being adapted or authored, vs ones that are more ready for reproduction. Tabs or something?

--If the goal is to "encourage us to repeat and refine the activities into experiments," then the structure of the list and its introduction should be modified. We might want to call it a list of activities and make sure that everyone understands that particular things are required to make some of them more like experiments.I can take a look at the things in the list and start to put them in categories (e.g., lesson plans, getting started guides, example applications, interesting observations, structured investigations, field experiments).Chris

I suspect it is an "activity" to someone with Chris's level of expertise but and experiment for someone like me. Who is your intended audience? If it is people getting started or teachers trying to interest a group of students, I would keep the word "experiment".

I'd also like to think about (looking ahead to how this'll be displayed, probably using tags):duration (time commitment) i.e. [duration:5h]status: [status:in-progress], [status:draft], [status:...] and some guidelines on a wiki page for what each means and when to use themWhat we're talking about here could be denoted with:[activity:experiment], [activity:field-test], etc?maybe [difficulty:easy], [difficulty:hard] as well, though that's subjective.Once we have a tag based labeling system we can create some interfaces to more easily mark different activities without having to think of them as tags per se -- and we can get the new wiki page grids to display these values as well as potentially allow folks to "sort by difficulty" or "sort by status".Jeff

Hi Folks,I'm new to this particular list and am just now catching up on this conversation. I agree with Chris that in order for something to be an experiment, it has to have a clearly planned experimental design including constants, variables, a hypothesis etc. I think the table should be labeled as "activities" and we can order them according to different categories, like those Chris mentioned (e.g. field test, observation, etc), and I'd like us to distinguish between experiments that test an instrument, versus experiments that utilize an instrument to test something.Does anyone want to work together on developing a rubric for categorizing activities? Here's a google doc we can use to get started:Maybe we could also sort through some research notes that are emblematic of the different activity categories?Best,Gretchen

It is often used to mean "trying something new," like the "American Experiment." To help people appreciate that science has some very well thought out techniques for learning stuff, we should model good behavior and use scientific terms as scientists do. To encourage people to use Public Lab tools effectively we should make a clear distinction between "trying different things" and thinking carefully about what variables should be controlled and what variables should be measured in order to learn what we want to learn.Trying new things and doing experiments have different consequences. If my 14 year old son experimented with drugs, I would be rather proud of him. If he tries drugs, I would first remind him that it is illegal. If my 14 year old daughter experimented with sex, I would encourage her to publish the results in a peer reviewed journal. If she tries sex, I would remind her of the things she learned in health class and that she and her brother are only 14 years old for crying out loud. (Full disclosure, I don't actually have 14 year old children.)Let's do what we can to improve the public understanding that scientists do things in particular ways for a reason.Chris
