DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant, Danya International, Inc. (Danya), proposes to develop an educational tool kit, called the Science Club Kit, for children in kindergarten through second grade. This product will consist of the following materials: a user's guide containing 15 1-hour lesson plans categorized by topic (e.g., biology, chemistry, zoology, etc.), suggestions for field trips and guest speakers, resources for students, and additional activities for students to complete at home with their friends and family; and 75 to 100 activity, discussion, experiment, and puzzle cards. The materials will be developed so that an adult with little or no training in science can comfortably lead students through the activities to completion. In Phase II, Danya will complete a DVD or video component for each kit and conduct an extensive evaluation of the Science Club Kit, as well as the Research Club Kit, which was developed in Phase I. The goal of these products is to increase children's interest in science and research with fun and engaging experiments, while simultaneously providing them with safe, supervised, structured activities outside of the classroom. The Phase I evaluation activities demonstrated that the Research Club Kit was feasible and effective in educating children about science, drug abuse, and addiction, while promoting positive attitudes toward science and research.

描述（由申请人提供）：在这个第二阶段的小企业创新研究（SBIR）赠款，丹雅国际公司。（Danya）建议为幼儿园到二年级的儿童开发一套教育工具，称为科学俱乐部工具包。该产品将包括以下材料：用户指南，其中包含按主题分类的15个1小时课程计划（例如，生物学、化学、动物学等），实地考察和演讲嘉宾的建议，学生的资源，以及学生在家里与朋友和家人一起完成的额外活动;和75到100个活动，讨论，实验和拼图卡片。这些材料将被开发，使一个成年人很少或没有受过科学训练，可以舒适地带领学生通过活动完成。在第二阶段，Danya将为每个工具包制作DVD或视频组件，并对科学俱乐部工具包以及第一阶段开发的研究俱乐部工具包进行广泛的评估。这些产品的目标是通过有趣和引人入胜的实验来提高儿童对科学和研究的兴趣，同时为他们提供安全，监督，结构化的课外活动。第一阶段的评估活动表明，研究俱乐部工具包是可行的，有效的教育儿童科学，药物滥用和成瘾，同时促进对科学和研究的积极态度。
