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.

美国国家科学教师协会正与伍兹海洋学研究所、选定的博物馆和国家社会研究委员会（NCSS）合作，开发教学材料，使教师和学生为罗伯特·巴拉德的杰森地中海探险队的卫星下行做好准备。学生（4-12年级）将于1989年4月和1993年每年春季参观博物馆两周，通过“看见的眼睛”机器人JASON参与探索地中海沉没的商船。学生们将与被派往探险的伍兹霍尔科学家们分享对古代遗迹的第一次看法，并将能够在同时直播的视频广播中与这些科学家互动。NSTA、Woods Hole和NCSS已经确定了课程开发者、教师、主管和博物馆协调员，他们将设计针对4-6年级、7-9年级和10-12年级三个级别的教学单元。这些单元包括教师指南、课程计划和海报，将侧重于与水下研究、航海和贸易等广泛主题相关的科学和社会研究。材料开发小组还将担任教师培训人员，这些教师将带他们的学生（1989年估计有24,000人）到博物馆参加地中海考察。教材将每年进行修订，并向所有参与的教师发送最新的通讯。该项目将科学和专业组织联合起来，共同努力，帮助学生和教师实现科学研究的激动人心的潜力。即将制作的教材和拍摄过程，将让未来的学生和教师从JASON的工作中受益，并帮助他们了解海洋研究的多学科性质，以及使探险成为可能的技术。
