DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): Using insects as tools, the investigators on this application will design an active-learning program that will increase students' scientific literacy and reasoning skills. The instructional materials will be multi-level and multidisciplinary, providing many links between science and everyday life, and will enable teachers to draw in students of many levels and cultural backgrounds. Previous results have clearly demonstrated that the presence of live insects in classrooms generates excitement, focuses attention, and improves retention of lesson content. The increasing failure of insecticides to control insects is linked to a consideration of toxicology and biological control. The overwhelming importance of the most decimating and prevalent human diseases (e.g., malaria) and food and fiber crops in all cultures provide innumerable links to human health, history, economics, and culture throughout the world. Instructional materials will be designed to exploit these connections to heighten students' interest in health sciences. Students will meet active scientists through video presentations and share data, analyses, and experiences with scientists and other classrooms through the Internet. The instructional program will be created through a partnership with teachers, piloted in local schools and tested at distant sites to validate its effectiveness in other regions.

描述（改编自申请人的摘要）：使用昆虫作为 工具，该应用程序的研究人员将设计一个主动学习 提高学生科学素养和推理能力的计划 技能。 教学材料将是多层次的 多学科，提供科学与日常生活之间的许多联系， 并使教师能够吸引不同水平和文化背景的学生 背景。 先前的结果清楚地表明，存在 教室里的活昆虫会让人兴奋，集中注意力， 提高对课程内容的记忆。 越来越多的失败 控制昆虫的杀虫剂与毒理学的考虑有关 和生物防治。 最具毁灭性的压倒性重要性 和流行的人类疾病（例如疟疾）以及所有粮食和纤维作物 文化与人类健康、历史、经济和人类健康有着无数的联系。 文化遍布世界各地。 教学材料将旨在 利用这些联系来提高学生对健康科学的兴趣。 学生将通过视频演示结识活跃的科学家并分享 通过科学家和其他课堂的数据、分析和经验 互联网。 教学计划将通过 与教师合作，在当地学校试点并在遥远的地方进行测试 网站以验证其在其他地区的有效性。
