Learning It, Doing It, Living It

Introducing K-12 students to animal-behavior research and how it’s relevant to their own lives

Animal behavior is strange and captivating, and research on animal behavior can engage broad audiences. Still, the relevance of the research to the general public isn’t always clear. In this project, undergraduate students address this issue in collaboration with a science enrichment and outreach community partner. First, they teach K-12 students how to test the ways early-life social experiences influence the behavior of adult invertebrates. Then they guide the K-12 students through a discussion of how these findings are relevant to them.

Type: Public Purpose Research Grant

Topics: Children, Youth, Seniors and Families; Education
