Teachers and administrators are ready to integrate more science-related reading and writing into the curriculum but they lack direction. This project will help teachers make connections between hands-on scientific inquiry and science related reading and writing. Year one of the three year project will focus on the thought processes employed by expert teachers as they attend a summer program on science related children's literature and inquiry science, read professional publications, plan for instruction, and evaluate their own practice. During the second summer the teachers will use information gathered from scientists, authors of children's science books, librarians, museum staff, and project personnel to create an in-service program which focuses on one existing inquiry unit which they have modified to incorporate science reading and writing. These in-service programs, which will seek to teach the process of integration as well as the content of hands-on science and science-related reading and writing, will be field-tested during the 1991-2 academic year. During the third summer, the master teachers will conduct a five-week institute to train a second generation of teacher-consultants on integrating science across the curriculum. Materials from the project which support this type of inservice and which are based on the experiences of the master teachers will be then be edited and published by the project staff. This should provide others with an excellent resource which could be used in every inservice program designed to encourage teachers to use integrated inquiry based hands-on science with young children. The cost sharing for the project is 52% of the NSF portion of the award.

教师和管理人员准备将更多与科学相关的阅读和写作纳入课程，但他们缺乏方向。这个项目将帮助教师在实践科学探究和与科学相关的阅读和写作之间建立联系。这个为期三年的项目的第一年将专注于专家教师在参加与科学相关的儿童文学和探究科学的暑期计划、阅读专业出版物、计划教学和评估自己的实践时所采用的思维过程。在第二个夏天，老师们将利用从科学家、儿童科学书籍作者、图书馆管理员、博物馆工作人员和项目人员那里收集的信息来创建一个在职计划，重点放在一个现有的调查单元上，他们已经对该单元进行了修改，将科学阅读和写作纳入其中。这些在职方案将寻求教授融合过程以及实践科学和与科学有关的阅读和写作的内容，将在1991-2学年进行实地测试。在第三个暑假，大师教师将举办一个为期五周的学院，培训第二代教师顾问，如何将科学融入整个课程。然后，项目工作人员将编辑和出版项目材料，这些材料支持这种类型的在职工作，并以主要教师的经验为基础。这应该为其他人提供一个极好的资源，可以用于每一个旨在鼓励教师在幼儿中使用基于综合探究的动手科学的在职计划。该项目的费用分摊是NSF奖励部分的52%。
