ENZOOLOGY WANTS TO HELP YOU CREATE TOMORROW'S SCIENTISTS AND EARTH STEWARDS.

“The low esteem in which science and scientists are held by the public is a significant problem. Never before has science and technology played such a big role in our lives, and yet the children of today are not interested in science.”

Dr. Stephen Hawking CH, CBE, FRS, FRSA

Enzoology is a kids science conservation show created by and hosted by nine year old Enzo Monfre. If you are reading this, there is a good chance you have a child like Enzo - intensely interested in science, driven to learning new things and concerned about the world's resources. Unfortunately, these types of kids are in short supply and America is falling behind in the global science arena.

Part of the problem is that there is a lack of science information available to early grade elementary schools. The cruel irony is that first, second, third, fourth and fifth graders already have a natural love of science and wildlife. Enzoology was created to support this natural enthusiasm during these formative years so that it endures through higher education and beyond.

Enzoology impacts kids in a positive way by showing them that it's cool to be into science, educated and interested.

In the coming months we will be developing specific programs that align to national and state testing standards to bring the Enzoology experience into the classroom.

"I believe science can save the world"

According to a survey by the National Science Foundation:

* Many people throughout the world cannot answer simple, science-related questions. Nor do they have an understanding of the scientific process.

* Science knowledge in the United States is not improving. Survey respondents' ability to answer most questions about science has remained essentially unchanged since the 1990s
.
* Although the U.S. survey has not shown much change over time in the public's level of knowledge about science, the most recent Eurobarometer does show an increase. The change occurred in almost all countries surveyed; Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands recorded double-digit increases between 1992 and 2005 in the percentage of correct responses to science literacy questions.
