Cub Creek Science Camp Camp Activities Cub Creek Science Camp is all about fun, friends and learning! Our activities are what make us stand apart from other camps! While we offer all of the favorite "traditional" camp activates such as tie dyeing T-shirts, outdoor living skills, archery, fishing, swimming and crafts. Our staff are trained to teach the science behind these activities. (How does sunlight create the colors that we see? Why are fish slimy? What is Plaster of Paris made from and why does it get hot when it begins to harden?) We also offer many activities unique to Cub Creek Science Camp, such as, Jr. Vet and Adopt an Animal. All activities are geared to the ages of the campers, which makes them both fun and challenging. Campers choose the activities that interests them the most. Each camper will choose two courses for each week at camp. These courses will focus on one specific area of study and involve fun hands-on projects or experiments that expand upon the course's subject each day. In addition to these courses campers will participate in two classes each day. Classes are specific projects that take just 1 hour to complete but are sure to entertain, intrigue and educate.

Progress Reports Back to Washington County Competitive Events Teach 4-Hers Valuable Skills The Washington County Junior Entomology Team placed first at the Mid-South Fair in Memphis, Tennessee. Competitive activities are the backbone of 4-H. They serve as an opportunity for 4-Hers to gain more knowledge and experience in their project area. These events also teach these youth about sportsmanship and allow them to get to know other 4-Hers with similar interests. Washington County has had a tradition of having strong participation in district and state 4-H competitive events. In 2001, Washington County had three 4-H judging teams that won State or Regional contests. Two of those went on to national contests. Four 4-Hers competed in the Junior 4-H Entomology Linnaean Team judging contest at the MidSouth Fair in Memphis, Tennessee. This team placed first in the Junior division and Levi Forster was Junior High Point Individual. These 4-Hers, who are all members of the Friends of Nature 4-H Club, worked with the University of Arkansas Department of Entomology staff and graduate assistants, to gain experience in the Linnaean Contest format and questions. The Washington County Dairy Judging Team won the State 4-H Dairy Contest and went on to compete in the National Dairy Judging Contest in Madison, Wisconsin. Ashley Swaffar received High Point Individual at the State Contest. Adult leader and local dairyman Jared Munyon trained the team for competition.

Art-Science Fusions as a Tool for Teaching Biological Concepts Instructor: Description: Format: The seminar will meet one time each week. Each session will be for 2 hours and 50 minutes. Each session will be devoted to: a) lectures and discussions on biological concepts; b) demonstration of ceramics skills and techniques; and/or presentations of ideas and concepts by students. The remainder of each meeting will be used for students to practice ceramics skills and complete projects that illustrate specific biological concepts. During the first half of the quarter, these projects will be proposed and directed by the instructor. During the second half of the quarter, the projects will be designed and implemented by the students. There is no text for this course, but the internet will be used extensively. Special materials include clay, underglazes and glazes. These will be largely provided. Students will also be asked to provide some of their own materials and tools (about 10% of what they use). Grading: Half the grade is based on written assignments and oral presentation (total = 50 points). The other half of the grade is based on attendance and participation (5 points/session).

James Entomological Collection Washington State University Pullman, WA 99164-6382 Office: FSHN 157 Phone: E-Mail: zack@wsu.edu Areas of Interest: Research My research interests are varied but center around insect systematics and entomological diversity as broad fields of exploration - I often refer to this as "ecosystematics." I am interested in the interactions of insects with their environments, especially as these environments are harsh, unusual, or vanishing. This can, and often does include areas that are managed such as parks, reserves or reservations, and even agricultural lands. For the past many years, several students and I have been conducting an intensive survey, with concurrent ecological studies, of the Hanford Nuclear Site which is located in southcentral Washington State. My systematic interests are also varied with the primary groups of study including the dipterous family Ephydridae (shoreflies), leafhoppers (as collaborative projects with Andy Hamilton) and aquatic Coleoptera and Hemiptera in general.

This site is designed to help students learn about invertebrates (insects and their allies); where they live, what they eat, their importance in the environment and how to identify and classify them. The emphasis is on the site being relatively simple, informative and fun to use. Depending on the age of the children they may be able to work through the Secondary Schools pages by themselves or may need teacher assistance. Activities... Listed below are some suggestions for class and student activities using this site. Other activities can be found on the Primary Schools and Community Groups pages. 1. Insect Collection This activity is designed to teach students about the diversity of invertebrates and how to identify and classify them. Equipment Needed Small glass or plastic jars (e.g. coffee/jam jars) for collecting insects Small flat plastic dishes (preferably white) Magnifying glasses or hand lens Small fine sewing pins (or equivalent) Piece of Styrofoam inside an empty shallow cardboard box with lid Once the insects are dead they should be pinned (as outlined here ). The pins are then inserted into the Styrofoam inside the box. The students should place a paper label on the pin (between the specimen and the foam), which details the date and place collected. Soft bodied insects cannot be pinned and should be kept in small containers together with the relevant label.

In his thought-provoking presentation on “un-designing for children and youth,” Dr. Hart will talk about the challenge of finding ways to enable young children to have genuine play opportunities in garden settings. "The Partnership for Plant –Based Learning” Panel Discussion led by Katy Moss Warner , American Horticultural Society, Valerie Kelsey , National Gardening Association, and Cindy Klemmer , Chicago Botanic Garden Recognizing the power and importance of incorporating plants into the academic and personal lives of young people, the Partnership for Plant-Based Learning was formed in 2002 to promote the use of plants as a vehicle for standards-based learning. Starting with a small gathering of representatives from nationally focused not-for-profits in 2002, the Partnership is working to establish a strong basis for the advocacy of plant-based learning and to encourage discussion and collaboration between groups involved in plant-based education. This panel discussion will highlight the Partnership’s progress to date including the commissioning of a thought-provoking white paper and a national congress held in the spring of this year.

T EACHING ACTIVITIES M.Sc. and Ph.D. courses are directed towards studies of principles of host parasite relationships. The subject includes organismal parasitology (biology of parasitic Protozoa and helminths, medical entomology), cell biology and biochemistry of parasites, parasite immunology, pathology and epidemiology of parasitic infections. Strong emphasis is placed on synthesis of biochemical and molecular approaches of the study of parasitism with the knowledge and understanding of the organisms involved. Students are given practical training in methods, identification of parasites, and participate in a Parasitology Field Course. The parasitology unit participates in the Postgraduate Program in Biomedicine and its research and teaching potential is strenghtened by close cooperation with the Department of Tropical Medicine of the 1st Faculty of Medicine. COURSES UG-for undergraduate students, G-for graduate students, L-lectures, P-practical courses Introduction to Parasitology (UG).

Collaborations with the Departments of Forest Resources, Horticulture, and Landscape Architecture give me access to practitioners in the field. Training of Master Gardeners, Urban Foresters, and involvement in PAT (Pesticide Applicator Programs) provides needed educational information on the methods and success of IPM programs. This year I hosted an IPM workshop which was attended by over 85 interested landscapers, growers, consumers, and green industry managers. I plan to continue the IPM workshop in Spring of 1998.
