Chemical Education for Public Understanding Project

化学教育促进公众理解项目（CEPUP） 劳伦斯科学馆将开发跨学科的材料， 在初中阶段使用，向学生介绍 化学品及其在生活中的重要性。 CEPUP材料将 突出与科学有关直接社会关切领域， 技术. 学生将被给予化学为基础的活动， 重点关注环境、生物技术、工业 农业做法、替代能源和健康 科学 CEPUP提案是一个为期三年的项目，旨在修订和实地测试 在试验阶段制作的四个单元， 在全国范围内评估另外12个模块。 该项目 与多个行业保持紧密的合作关系， 学校系统和专业组织，并将共同努力 与这些团体和实验室艾滋病公司，为了确保长期广泛的 材料的传播。 工作人员和劳伦斯科学馆 被认为是非常有资格进行这种产品。 该提案明确提出了改善初中/初中教育的需要。 科学，并承诺在全国范围内产生重大影响。 该项目的目标与指导性 材料开发计划。

The Chemical Education for Public Understanding Project (CEPUP) at the Lawrence Hall of Science will develop interdisciplinary materials for use at the middle/junior high school level to introduce students to chemicals and their importance in their lives. CEPUP materials will highlight areas of direct societal concern associated with science and technology. Students will be given chemistry based activities and experiments that focus on the environment, biotechnologies, industrial processes, agricultural practices, alternative energy sources and health science. The CEPUP proposal is a three-year project to revise and field test the four modules produced during the pilot phase, and to develop and evaluate an additional twelve modules nationally. The project has maintained a strong cooperative working relationship with a variety of school systems and professional organizations and will work together with these groups and LAB-AIDS, Inc., to insure the long term widespread dissemination of the materials. The staff and Lawrence Hall of Science are considered highly qualified to conduct this product. The proposal addresses a clear need for improving middle/junior high science and promises to have a substantial impact throughout the nation. The project's goals are consistent with those of the Instructional Materials Development Program.
