• Abstract The following work deals with an approach to solve a frequently cited problem in Citizen Science, the lack of knowledge of citizens for effective participation. A frequently named solution is the targeted promotion of the participants to meet the demands of research. This is also the topic of this work. The resulting trainings are to be integrated into the school context and are titled as learning scenarios, each of which deals with selected competencies. Thus, a collection of learning scenarios is created, to enable learners without previous experience to develop their own measuring stations and to work on their own research questions. For this, purpose, a procedure model is used, which was further evaluated with this work, which represents the design phase of the Design Science Research process. The evaluation of a part of the learning scenarios was conducted together with 2 groups of learners and 5 individual teachers. The evaluation with learners consisted of a self-assessment and an evaluation of the learning scenarios. With the teachers, personal interviews took place. The most important results are the created learning scenarios as well as the evaluation of them and the idea. Furthermore, the evaluation shows that learners can develop an interest in the content by doing it. From the results, it can be concluded that both schools and science can benefit from the development of joint projects. The process model used was once again confirmed.
