Twenty Wisconsin teachers of earth and life science will be selected for involvement in each year of a three year project designed to increase content background and understanding of the nature of science through research experience. Each teacher will participate in sessions with field research scientists to select a research project. Seminars and formal class work will provide content relative to the geology or life science area of their research. During the academic year, the participants will complete library research related to their selected problem. Participants will attend seminars at which they will present their literature findings, interact with master teachers to discuss techniques for involving students in research, and discuss how to incorporate personal research into a curriculum. During the summer and fall, the participants will conduct field research under the direction of a scientist. Local university, college museum, or industrial scientists will provide technical consulting as needed. A master high school teacher will provide general coordination. During the second academic year participants will concentrate on writing reports and presenting findings at seminars. The participants will present papers at the Annual Conference of the Wisconsin Academy of Sciences, Arts and Letters, and other appropriate professional associations. An amount equivalent to 60.1% of the NSF award is being contributed as cost-sharing.

威斯康星州将选出20名地球与生命科学教师，每年参与一个为期三年的项目，旨在通过研究经验增加内容背景和对科学本质的理解。每位教师将与实地研究科学家一起参加会议，选择一个研究项目。研讨会和正式的课堂作业将提供与地质学或生命科学研究领域相关的内容。在学年期间，参与者将完成与所选问题相关的图书馆研究。参与者将参加研讨会，在研讨会上他们将展示他们的文献发现，与大师教师互动，讨论让学生参与研究的技巧，并讨论如何将个人研究纳入课程。在夏季和秋季，参与者将在一位科学家的指导下进行实地研究。当地大学、学院博物馆或工业科学家将根据需要提供技术咨询。一位高级高中教师将提供一般的协调。在第二学年，参与者将专注于撰写报告并在研讨会上展示研究结果。参与者将在威斯康星科学、艺术和文学学院以及其他适当的专业协会的年会上发表论文。相当于国家科学基金会奖金60.1%的金额作为费用分摊。
