Princeton Earth Physics Project

PEPP建议在学校和大学安装一个简单的地震仪，建立一个计算机网络来共享数据和信息，并形成一个支持iris成员*的网络来培训和支持科学教师。主要目标是：。开发用于高中和大学的“动手”地震设备，以增加学生解释自然的好奇心。通过连接的实验室实验增加对物理概念的理解，同时发展对地震仪作为基于这些概念的仪器的熟悉感。培养教师与学生进行真正的“课堂科学”，并为这些活动提供科学依据。促进地球科学和物理学教师与地球物理学研究人员之间的互动。通过提供材料、计算机网络和研究机会，为教师提供组织和智力上的支持。在全国范围内传播PEPP，并建立一个独特的地震阵列，使学生和教师能够做出真正的发现。PEPP并没有停留在课堂“示范”层面，而是试图将其一直延伸到真正的科学。pep的这一特点将极大地提高学生和老师的积极性。在进入全国范围的最终项目之前，将需要三年的时间来开发具有必要基础设施的第一个PEPP模块，并在试点项目中展示可行性。

PEPP proposes to install a simple seismograph in schools and colleges, to create a computer network to share data and information, and to form a network of supporting IRIS-members* to train and support science teachers. The main goals are: . To develop "hands on" seismological equipment for use at high schools and colleges, to increase the curiosity of students to explain nature, . To increase the understanding of physical concepts through connected lab experiments, while developing a sense of familiarity with the seismometer as an instrument based on these concepts, . To train teachers to do real "classroom science" with their students and provide scientific back-up for these activities, . To stimulate interaction between teachers in Earth sciences and physics with researchers in geophysics, . To give teachers organizational and intellectual support by providing materials, computer networking as well as research opportunities, . To disseminate PEPP nationally and build a unique seismological array that allows students and teachers to make real discoveries. Rather than stop at the classroom "demonstration" level, PEPP tries to extend all the way towards real science. This unique feature of PEPP will greatly contribute towards the enthusiasm of both students and teachers. It will take three years to develop the first PEPP modules with the necessary infrastructure and to show the feasibility in a pilot project before moving on to a final project at national scale.
