When the Frogs Find Their Urban Paradise at Yung Ho Wetland-Research-Frog's Survey

In the week after Pan-Pan's presentation, we used the grade four and five students' computer class time to do a survey. We hoped that through this survey, we could see how much the students had learned from the presentation, and also see if it had sparked an interest in environmental protection within them.

[Activities]

1.After Pan-Pan's presentation, we all used our lunch breaks to discuss the content of the survey.
2.We used computer class to do the survey after giving a brief explanation of the contents of the survey.
3.When our classmates were filling in the survey, we were on hand to make sure that there was nothing that they were unclear about.

Survey Content

：Before Pan-Pan's presentation, did you know about wetlands?


	This graph shows us that 82% of students already knew what a wetland was before Pan-Pan's presentation.

：Before Pan-Pan's presentation, did you know that under the Fuhe Bridge there is the Yung Ho Community University Eco-park?


	Before Pan-Pan's presentation, 71% of students didn't know about the Yung Ho Community University Eco-park.

：Have you ever been to a wetland before？


	This shows that the number of students who haven't visited a wetland is only slightly less than those who have.

：Have you ever visited the Yung Ho Community University Eco-park before？


	We can see that most students have never visited the park before.

：Do you know who the people that protect and conserve the wetlands are?


	We can see that most of the students don't know who is working hard to conserve the wetlands.

：After Pan-Pan's presentation, do you know more about wetlands？


	We can see from here that after the presentations, almost all of the students responded positively. All but three students gained some understanding of the wetlands from the presentation.

：Will you pass on the knowledge of wetlands to others？


	Around 80% of students said that they will pass on their knowledge.

：After Pan-Pan's presentation, do you think conserving wetland is important？


	Almost all of the students think that this conservation of wetlands is important now.

：Do you wish that Yung Ho had more wetlands like this？


	Almost all of the students wish that Yung Ho could have more wetlands.

a. Go to the wetland by myself.
b. Help telling others about the wetland's importance.
c. Help weed.
d. Be the best guide.
e. Don't want to.

：After Pan-Pan's presentation, are you willing to do whatever you can to conserve and protect wetlands？


	Almost all of the students are willing to do something to help conserve and protect wetlands.

：After Pan-Pan's presentation, would you be willing to visit the Yung Ho Wetland？


	This shows that after the presentation, a good proportion of students would like to visit the Yung Ho wetland!

Research Discoveries

+ [Research Discoveries] +

From this survey we have discovered that although a lot of our classmates already knew what a wetland was before Pan-Pan's presentation, only half had ever been to one. We also learned that many of the students didn't know about the Yung Ho Community University Eco-park that is located near our school. Even among those few who did know about the park, fewer still had actually visited it.
However, after listening to Pan-Pan's presentation the students began to have a further understanding and interest in the wetland areas.
Almost all of the students said that they would like to visit the park in the near future. Our fellow classmates are also beginning to care about these wetland areas, some said they would pass on their knowledge of wetlands to others, some said they were willing to help out at the park, and some even said that they wished they could become junior guides like us!
Our classmates were willing to give their all to conserve and protect the wetlands and they now understand the importance of this area. They also hope that in the future we will have more of these community-run ecological education parks in Yung Ho.
