JASON Barge Project

国家科学教师协会正在与伍兹合作 海洋学研究所、选定的博物馆和国家海洋学理事会 社会研究（NCSS）开发教学材料， 教师和学生的卫星下行链路的罗伯特巴拉德的 杰森地中海探险。 学生（4-12年级）将参观 1989年4月和每年春天， 1993年，参加了在中国的沉船勘探工作。 通过“导盲犬”机器人杰森 学生将 与伍兹霍尔的科学家们分享对古代遗迹的第一印象 分配到探险队，并将能够与这些互动， 科学家在同时进行的视频直播中。 NSTA、伍兹霍尔和NCSS已经确定了课程开发人员， 教师，监督员和博物馆协调员，他们将设计教学 这些单位针对三个级别，即4-6年级、7-9年级和10-12年级。 各单位， 包含教师指南，教案和海报，将集中在 科学和社会研究有关的广泛议题的水下 学习、航海和贸易。 材料开发组将 也作为教师培训师，教师谁将带来他们的 学生（1989年估计有24，000人）到博物馆参加 地中海探险 材料将每年修订， 向所有参与教师发送时事通讯更新。 该项目结合了科学和专业组织， 协调一致和独特的努力，帮助学生和教师实现 激发科研潜力。 教学 这些材料将被开发和拍摄将允许未来 学生和教师从JASON事业中受益，并帮助 他们赞赏海洋学研究的多学科性质 以及使探险成为可能的技术。

The National Science Teachers Association is working with Woods Oceanographic Institute, selected museums, and the National Council of Social Studies (NCSS) to develop instructional materials to prepare teachers and students for the satellite downlinking of Robert Ballard's JASON Mediterranean Expedition. Students (grades 4-12) will visit the museums during two weeks in April 1989 and in each spring through the year 1993 to take part in the exploration of sunken trading vessels in the Mediterranean via the "seeing eye" robot, JASON. Students will share the first views of ancient relics with the Woods Hole scientists assigned to the expedition and will be able to interact with these scientists during the simultaneous live video broadcast. NSTA, Woods Hole, and NCSS have identified curriculum developers, teachers, supervisors, and museum coordinators who will design teaching units targeted to three levels, grades 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. The units, containing a teachers' guide, lesson plan, and poster, will focus on the science and social studies relevant to the broad topics of underwater studies, seafaring, and trade. The materials development group will also serve as teacher trainers to the teachers who will bring their students (an estimated 24,000 in 1989) to the museums to take part in the Mediterranean Expedition. Materials will be revised each year, and a newsletter update sent to all participating teachers. This project combines scientific and professional organizations in a concerted and unique effort to help students and teachers realize the excitement potential in scientific research. The instructional materials which are to be developed and the filming will allow future students and teachers to benefit from the JASON undertaking, and help them appreciate the multidisciplinary nature of oceanographic research and the technology which makes the expeditions possible.
