Project MICRO: Microscopy in Curriculum -- Research Outreach

Isaacson 9355777 该项目是做必要的研究和开发，以准备关于显微镜和显微镜的试用教学材料，它们是如何工作的，以及它们如何用来回答K-12学校不同科学领域的问题。 这项建议的目的是发展一个初步的教学指南和工具包（一个测试模块），通过使用显微镜发现生命、地球和物理科学的知识，提供一个综合的建构主义科学学习方法。 这些材料将与加州伯克利的劳伦斯科学馆合作开发。 一个独特的机会是可以测试的材料与卓越的教学基本科学（EXCITES）计划内是一个国家科学基金会资助的项目将举行的加州大学戴维斯分校在1993年夏天。 该项目包括一个后续秋季讲习班，以进行修订和进一步发展，在1994年和1995年夏季，EXCITES教师继续参与和测试。 该项目的这一阶段将以一份课程指南结束，该指南已试用三年，准备在全国分发。 ***

Isaacson 9355777 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. ***
