Flight of the Butterflies

电影制片人的合作，主要大格式有限公司，和SK电影公司。目前，联合国环境规划署（环境规划署）正在申请资金，以制作一部大幅面三维电影和多内容教育材料，并开展活动，介绍帝王蝶的年度迁徙、生命周期以及它们在选定地点着陆的生命网。 项目的目标是：1）提高观众对科学调查的性质和科学过程的开放性的理解，2）加强和扩大公民科学计划，以新的观众，和3）创造更好的君主生物学，昆虫生态学和栖息地的重要性的认识。 创新/战略影响： 这部电影将同时以3D和2D 15/70格式发行。 RMC Research Corp.将对该项目进行评估，包括研究2D和3D版本电影的可比优势，并评估3D在增强学习体验方面的有效性。 RMC还将对该项目的公民科学计划进行长期评估。 该项目承诺项目团队与史密森尼学会、项目学习树、Monarchs in the Classroom、Monarch Watch、4-H（通过肯塔基州分校和佛罗里达大学的WINGS项目）、墨西哥裔美国人和美洲原住民促进协会（SACNAS）、在线新闻一小时和地球天空之间建立高度合作的伙伴关系模式。 RMC将进行形成性和总结性评估，以评估项目材料在传播科学和实现项目学习目标方面的成功。

Filmmaker's Collaborative, Principal Large-Format LTD, and SK Films, Inc. are requesting funds to produce a large format, 3-D film and multi-component educational materials and activities on the annual migration of monarch butterflies, their life cycle and the web of life at select sites where they land. Project goals are to 1) raise audience understanding of the nature of scientific investigation and the open-ended nature of the scientific process, 2) enhance and extend citizen science programs to new audiences, and 3) create better awareness of monarch biology, insect ecology and the importance of habitat. INNOVATION/STRATEGIC IMPACT: The film will be simultaneously released in both a 3-D and 2-D 15/70 format. RMC Research Corp. will conduct evaluation of the project, including a study of the comparable strengths of the 2-D and 3-D versions of the film and to assess the effectiveness of 3-D to enhance the learning experience. RMC will also conduct a long-term evaluation of the project's citizen science programs.COLLABORATION: This project promises a highly collaborative model of partnerships between the project team and The Smithsonian, Project Learning Tree, Monarchs in the Classroom, Monarch Watch, 4-H through the University of Kentucky Extension and the University of Florida WINGS programs, The Society for the Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans (SACNAS), Online NewsHour, and Earth & Sky. RMC will conduct formative and summative evaluations to assess the success of project materials in communicating science and achieving the project's learning goals.
