Lay AbstractBehavior as a Way of Knowing ScienceThe proposed project will support travel and meeting costs for 3 behavioral scientists to participate in a symposium entitled "Behavior as a Way of Knowing Science," scheduled for presentation at the 12-16 February 2004 meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in Seattle, WA. The goal of this symposium is to demonstrate that animal behavior is a powerful and effective way to teach science to students at all levels. We will show that studies of animal behavior are simple, inexpensive and integrate diverse systems. Behavioral science allows students to engage in hands-on activities. It allows students to work in groups. It provides a means for collecting statistically tractable data sets and, it provides an interesting subject on which students can discuss and present their results. In short, by studying animal behavior, students at all levels can learn science by doing it themselves. This symposium will be directed toward a wide audience that can be reached through resources sponsored and encouraged by AAAS. Our primary audience will include practicing K-12 and university educators who can benefit directly by using animal behavior to teach science in their classrooms and laboratories.

行为作为认识科学的一种方式拟议中的项目将支持3名行为科学家参加题为“行为作为认识科学的一种方式”的研讨会的旅费和会议费用，该研讨会定于2004年2月12日至16日在华盛顿州西雅图举行的美国科学促进协会（AAAS）会议上发表。本次研讨会的目标是证明动物行为是一个强大而有效的方式来教科学的学生在各个层次。我们将展示动物行为的研究是简单的，廉价的，整合不同的系统。 行为科学允许学生参与实践活动。它允许学生分组工作。它提供了一种收集统计学上易于处理的数据集的方法，它提供了一个有趣的主题，学生可以讨论和展示他们的结果。简而言之，通过研究动物行为，各级学生都可以通过自己动手来学习科学。本次研讨会将针对广泛的观众，可以通过资源达到赞助和鼓励美国科学促进会。我们的主要受众将包括实践K-12和大学教育工作者，他们可以通过使用动物行为在教室和实验室中教授科学而直接受益。
