Zebrafish have been used as an education tool for students of all ages and can be used in many learning environments to teach different fields of science. In this study, we focus on the biology of zebrafish. We describe an educational program within a weeklong science camp for students between 12 and 14 years old. The methodology described is based on running annual science camps over an 11-year period. In these camps, students learnt about the developmental stages of zebrafish, as well as general zebrafish biology, husbandry, ecology, behavior, and reproduction. This article describes how to provide students and educators with an educational program to explore, discover, and contribute to the ever-evolving landscape of biological understanding through active and visual learning. We describe the methodology, the evaluation, revisions to our program over time, and future directions for expansion. |
