Young Scholars Ocean Science Institute

美国加州州立科学与数学教育学院 长滩大学提出，要确定和选择30个高能力 进入9-10年级的青少年，让他们参与一个由两部分组成的计划， 专注于海洋科学 在该计划中，海洋科学作为一个 解决所有科学问题和 工程. 第一阶段提供3个半星期的居住在CSULB 然后在卡塔利纳岛进行为期3天的实地考察。 期间 这个夏天，学生们还将学习科学是如何运作的， 在一个研究项目，继续到下一个学年。 这一阶段的一个关键特征是， 工作的科学家或工程师，至少花一天时间“跟踪 科学家”。 团队教学， 大学，工业和Jr./高中教师将使用。 在下一学年的后续阶段， 继续他们的研究在一个网络，提供了各种 支助服务. 六个星期六的后续会议继续他们的 探索各种科学和工程 可能性，以及培养他们的持续研究。

The Science and Mathematics Education Institute of California State University, Long Beach proposes to identify and select 30 high-ability youngsters entering grades 9-10 and involve them in a 2-part program focusing on ocean science. In the program, ocean science serves as a vehicle for addressing all the sciences and selected aspects of engineering. Phase I provides 3 1/2 weeks in residence on the CSULB campus, followed by a 3-day field excursion on Catalina Island. During the summer, students will also study how science operates, culminating in a research project which continues into the subsequent school year. A key feature of this phase places each student at the side of a working scientist or engineer, to devote at least one day "shadowing the scientist". Team teaching involving scientists from the university, industry and Jr./Sr. High School teachers will be used. In the follow-up phase during the subsequent school year, students continue their research within a network which provides a variety of support services. Six Saturday follow-up sessions continue their exploration of a broad variety of science and engineering possibilities, as well as nurture their continuing research.
