Project Dragonfly is
a collaborative effort of the School of Interdisciplinary Studies at Miami
University and the National Science Teachers Association, and is funded by the National
Science Foundation. We seek to bring together research scientists and 4 - 6
grade children in a process of active inquiry.
The goal of the Dragonfly Web Pages is to provide
interesting interactive experiences that stimulate scientific exploration and
experimentation. All of these materials have been checked for scientific
accuracy by a team of scientists and university science students. (Please
