Bio, as in biology, or the study of living organisms
Blitz, a sudden, energetic, and focused endeavor A BioBlitz is an event in which teams of volunteer scientists, families, students, educators, and other community members work together to find and identify as many species of plants, animals, microbes, fungi, and other organisms as possible in a specific geographic location. These activities not only highlight the biodiversity of an area, demonstrating the importance of exploration and conservation, but also generate quality data to be used by scientists. The Texas Alliance for Geographic Education is promoting a Blitz for the week of Nov. 13-19. You can apply for a kit before Oct. 31st on a 1st come basis. Check out the website for ideas. Note that they are repeating this activity from March and didn't change the dates on all the forms.
