Project MICRO: Microscopy in Curriculum -- Research Outreach

这个项目是做必要的研究和开发 准备有关显微镜的试验指导材料， 显微镜，它们是如何工作的，以及它们如何回答 不同科学领域的问题K-12学校。 的 该建议的目的是发展一种初步的教学方法， 指南和工具包（测试模块）， 建构主义者的科学学习方法， 显微镜发现知识的生命，地球和物理 以理工科为重 这些材料将在合作中开发 在加州伯克利的劳伦斯科学馆。 一个独特的机会是可以测试的材料与 小学科学卓越教学奖（Excellence in Teaching Elementary Science，EXCITES） 计划内是一个国家科学基金会资助的项目，将在 1993年夏天，加州戴维斯大学。 该项目包括一个后续秋季讲习班， 和额外的发展，并继续参与和 1994年夏天，EXCITES教师进行了测试， 1995. 该项目的这一阶段将达到高潮， 课程指南已测试了三年， 准备在全国发行。

This project is to do the research and development necessary to prepare trial instructional materials on microscopy and microscopes, how they work and how they used to answer questions in different fields of science K-12 schools. The intent of this proposal is to develop a preliminary teaching guide and kit (a test module)which provides an integrated constructivists approach to science learning by using the microscope to discover knowledge in life, earth and physical sciences. The materials will be developed in collaboration with the Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California. A unique opportunity is available to test the materials with the Excellence in Teaching Elementary Science (EXCITES) Program within is an NSF funded project to be held at the University of California at Davis during the summer of 1993. The project includes a follow-up fall workshop for revisions and additional development, with continued participation and testing by the EXCITES teachers in the summers of 1994 and 1995. This phase of the project will culminate with a curriculum guide which has been tested for three years and ready for national distribution.
