Physical Science Workshop for Teachers of Grades 7-9

该项目资助为期六周的夏季物理科学研讨会， 7-9年级的教师。 该研讨会将是一个机会，24 来自爱荷华州中部11个县的教师参加了一个 深度计划，以更新他们的技能。 讲习班将开展以下工作： 参与者在物理科学，（B）提高技能，在物理科学 教学和实验，（c）编写多样化课程 材料，涵盖了一个完整的物理科学课程和（d）使 为实验室数量极少的学校提供的设备 材料. 在学年期间，与会者将举行会后会议， 与工作坊职员、参与学校的校长，以及 科学顾问讨论在实施 车间概念和材料。 工作人员将参观每个 教师所在的当地学校协助实施新教材。

This project funds a six-week summer Physical Science Workshop for teachers of grades 7-9. The workshop will be an opportunity for 24 teachers from an 11-county area of Central Iowa to participate in an in- depth program to update their skills. The workshop will do the following: (a) update knowledge of participants in physical science, (b) advance skills in physical science instruction and experimentation, (c) prepare diverse curriculum materials that cover a complete physical science course and (d) make equipment for schools which have a minimal quantity of laboratory materials. During the academic year, the participants will meet for post-sessions with the workshop staff, principals of participating schools, and science consultants to discuss progress and problems in implementing the workshop concepts and materials. The workshop staff will visit each teacher's local school to assist in implementing new materials.
