Based on what the kids learn from their hands-on activities, they design a mosquito comic book character that is either a hero or a villain.<\/p>\n<p>Since this approach was such a big hit, we worked with Marvel Comics artist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bobhall.com\/about-me\/\">Bob Hall<\/a>\u00a0to convert\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/research.hs.iastate.edu\/urban-ecosystem-project\/\">\u201cMosquitoes &amp; Me\u201d<\/a>\u00a0into an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nebraskapress.unl.edu\/nebraska\/9781496224347\/\">actual comic book<\/a>. Some of our young scientists drew images of themselves and made up catchy public health slogans for a page about mosquito control.

While at the camp, a group of mostly Black and Latino elementary and middle schoolers who are interested in science work in teams. They learn everything they need to know to decide whether humans or mosquitoes would win in an end-of-the-world battle.<\/p>\n<p>They explore mosquito ecology by looking for larvae in local water spots.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reconnectwithnature.org\/news-events\/the-buzz\/world-without-mosquitoes-not-as-easy-as-it-seems\">They examine the important role<\/a>\u00a0that mosquitoes play in the ecosystem. They tackle the logistics of disease transmission by thinking through whether mosquitoes actually \u201cbite\u201d or \u201csuck.\u201d And they learn about mosquito biology by feeding larvae foods made from their own kitchens.<\/p>\n<p>The activities engage them in authentic science practices like data tabling, microscope use and dissection. At the end of camp, they create public service announcements to teach mosquito control and disease prevention.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Taking a more involved approach<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Research has found that students who experience hands-on learning\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/stem-education\/science-research-study\/prweb12128837.htm\">outperform students<\/a>\u00a0who receive more traditional instruction.
