Project MICRO: Microscopy in Curriculum -- Research Outreach

艾萨克森9355777这个项目是进行必要的研究和开发，以准备关于显微镜和显微镜的试验性教学材料，它们是如何工作的，以及它们如何在不同的科学领域回答K-12学校的问题。这项建议的目的是开发一个初步的教学指南和工具包(测试模块)，通过使用显微镜发现生命、地球和物理科学方面的知识，为科学学习提供一种建构主义的综合方法。这些材料将与加利福尼亚州伯克利的劳伦斯科学馆合作开发。美国国家科学基金会资助的一个项目将于1993年夏天在加州大学戴维斯分校举行，这是一个独特的机会，可以用来测试这些材料，其中包括卓越的基础科学教学(EXCITES)计划。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，并在1994年和1995年夏季由Excites教师继续参与和测试。该项目的这一阶段将以一份经过三年测试并准备在全国分发的课程指南而告终。***

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. ***
