A Note to Educators:
The enclosed material is designed to be used as a supplement, and is not all-inclusive. It is expected that the presenter is someone well versed in the subject matter at hand, who will use the Power Point slides as prompts to help organize his or her oral discussion.
The subject matter is therefore flexible; it can be adapted to any age group through use of appropriate vocabulary. Also included are a variety of games and activities to select from for the activity breaks, the choice of which should depend upon the age group being addressed.
This material has been collected from numerous sources on the internet; in the best tradition of plagiarism we have assembled the most accurate information, the liveliest of artwork, the cleverest of games and puzzles from a wide assortment of mosquito control organizations and educational institutions entirely too numerous to mention, and we thank them gratefully for their most generous contributions. The supporting material is provided in PDF format; where appropriate, however, the corresponding Word Document is provided so that the presenter may insert the appropriate organizational logo.
Good luck!

    For this assignment I have chosen the book Bug Detective by Maggie Li. This book is an informational book aimed at young readers from the ages of 7-10. The book is about various insects including butterflies, beetles, ladybugs, worms, snails, flies, spiders, ants, bees, centipedes, and stick insects. The book is filled with true facts of these insects concerning their environment, what the insects eat, where you can find them, as well as the life cycle of these insects. The illustrations clearly show the animals, how they live, where they live, and show the behavior of these fun creatures! The book does engage the child into the reading and with the illustration encourages the reader to think about the differences between the various insects.…

    Mosquitos are the largest human killers in the world. They are not only efficient, blood sucking organisms, but also the most efficient disease carrying organism. The Pacific vampire mosquito is indigenous to several islands in the Pacific Ocean. They are most known for their presence on the Hawaiian Islands. Due to the large tourist presence on the islands, and the increasing pressure of unhappy tourists these pests are literally being poised to extinction. They are known to carry Malaria, and yellow fever and infect thousands of tourists yearly. Should these creatures be spared? After all their endangerment is a direct cause of human involvement. Although I believe that extinction is not necessarily the answer, continued involvement is needed. We as humans are a…

    Bee Population

    In assignment one I wrote about how pollinating bee populations were declining around the world and the solutions that can prevent this from happening. Addressing this issue can be very difficult. Not only are humans causing this problem but the bee population has a disease that is destroying the colonies. Currently there really isn’t a policy in place to regulate the problem but there are informal efforts that are being put into place by the federal government and other agencies. These efforts include providing millions of dollars for research to find a solution for the disease, restoring acres of land for habitat and increasing studies on the use of pesticides. I feel that most people…

    On Ddt Legalization

    • 4785 Words
    • 20 Pages

    So this case is a throw back from environment year… I hate repeat cases -_- Anyways, the basic idea of the case is to legalize DDT. DDT is a chemical mosquito repellent that is dumped in nations in order to stop malaria. DDT was banned by the UN under the Stockholm convention, and signed onto by nearly every nation. Now the basic idea of the case is that DDT is the most effective way to fight malaria, however we cant use it because of the ban. I believe the case can be attacked straight up, without a counterplan, but include multiple cards for support of a CP if you want to go that route. Here is the run down of what arguments I would run…. A. Topicality (Not fully included in brief) , it can be hard to sell, but run just to annoy the aff team into dropping their untopical case. B. Inherency, DDT is currently allowed in developing countries…
