Week 9!
This week I have been focusing on my project- a program for the Girl Scouts on Lepidoptera. So far I have created a guided tour for the Girl Scouts to take through the Butterfly Rainforest and I also want to give them time to be able identify different butterfly species. I've also emailed Dr. Jaret Daniels to ask him if he knows any women that would like to speak to the Girl Scouts.
Mostly I've been looking at research that scientists do in the Lepidoptera field to get idea for different activities for the girls to do. I really want what they learn to be relevant to the Lepidoptera field of research, I don't want to give them random butterfly activities. I'm really looking for meaningful important skills to teach them so it has been taking a while for me to think of activities for them to do. Hopefully I get some great ideas soon!
That's awesome on how you've been contacting people. I know how much of a headache it can be, especially when people don't email you back.
ReplyDeleteYou'll do fine, I know you can make something amazing!
Very cool. I think it's nice that you don't want to waste time teaching anything irrelevant or random... I'm sure the students will appreciate that!
