This project will train fifty sixth grade science teachers to emphasize physical science investigations in their curriculum. The teachers will participate in a three-year program to improve their knowledge of physical science and their ability to teach this subject through inquiry. Two groups, consisting of 25 participants each, will be involved in a summer session where they will take part in laboratory activities, demonstrations, science and societal issue analysis, the study of technological applications, field experiences, seminars, and the review of instructional programs. The teachers will then implements such activities, analyze their teaching, and gather attitudinal and achievement data pertaining to their students. The evaluation of the project will be based upon the extent to which it helps sixth-grade science teacher implement inquiry-oriented science programs. The cost sharing for the project will be thirty-seven percent of the NSF portion.

该项目将培训 50 名六年级科学教师，在其课程中强调物理科学调查。 教师们将参加一个为期三年的项目，以提高他们的物理科学知识以及通过探究来教授该学科的能力。 两组各由 25 名参与者组成，将参加夏季会议，他们将参加实验室活动、演示、科学和社会问题分析、技术应用研究、现场经验、研讨会和教学计划审查。 然后，教师将实施此类活动，分析他们的教学，并收集有关学生的态度和成绩数据。 该项目的评估将基于其帮助六年级科学教师实施探究型科学项目的程度。 该项目的成本分摊将占 NSF 部分的 37%。
