This three-year demonstration project is designed to educate 75 New York City elementary school teachers from approximately 15 schools to develop materials from the urban environment as the vehicle for science teaching in their 4th, 5th and 6th grade classrooms. Objectives that are unique to the project are: (1) to identify issues from the urban environment which lend themselves to elementary classroom learning; (2) to provide opportunities for teachers to use artifacts and issues from the children's immediate urban environment as the raw material for elementary science investigation; and (3) to demonstrate how the NY State Elementary Science requirements can be motivated using issues which are both familiar and important to children. Participating schools will remain part of the project for all three years, and active involvement of administrators will be engaged to guarantee school-wide dissemination. This project is appropriate for the Teacher Enhancement Program because it targets a needy urban student population and because it plans to develop a cadre of master teachers who will mentor their colleagues and work with school administrators to plan school-wide dissemination of the project. Non-NSF cost-sharing is approximately 78% of the amount requested from NSF.

这个为期三年的示范项目旨在 教育75名纽约市小学教师， 大约15所学校将从 城市环境作为科学教学的载体， 他们的四年级五年级和六年级教室 的目标 项目的独特之处在于：（1）从 城市环境，使他们自己的基本 课堂学习;（2）提供机会 教师使用文物和问题，从孩子们的 直接的城市环境作为原材料， 基础科学研究;（3）论证 纽约州的基本科学要求是如何 有动机地使用熟悉的问题， 对孩子很重要。 参与学校将继续 项目的一部分，所有三年，并积极 管理人员的参与将保证 全校传播。 该项目适合教师增强 计划，因为它的目标是贫困的城市学生群体 因为它计划培养一批名师 他们将指导他们的同事， 行政人员计划在全校范围内传播 项目 非NSF费用分摊约占金额的78% 要求NSF。
