PROJECT: The Malaria Controversy Knowledge:Integration:Experience
The University of California at Berkeley http://www.kie.berkeley.edu/
THE BIG PICTURE The Purpose of Learning the Basics
Welcome to the “Malaria Controversy” project. In this project, you will learn about three different strategies for controlling the spread of malaria. To prepare for your presentation, you will carefully examine evidence related to the malaria controversy.
But before you start looking at evidence, you need to learn about malaria: what is it, where is it prevalent, and how do people catch it?
