Princeton Earth Physics Project

小行星9355805 PEPP的目标是在全国的高中和大学安装一系列地震仪，建立一个分享地震数据和信息的计算机网络，围绕地震数据分析开发一系列地球科学和物理课程模块，并形成IRIS支持成员网络（Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology，一个由80多所大学组成的NSF支持的联盟--见附录A），以培训和支持科学教师。 该项目的主要目标是： - 开发“动手”地震数据采集设备，供高中和大学使用，以增加学生解释自然的好奇心，-通过地震学的相关实验室实验增加对地球科学和物理概念的理解，同时培养对地震仪作为使用这些概念的仪器的熟悉感，- 支持教师与学生开展真实的“课堂科学”活动，并为教师与学生开展这些活动提供科学支持，通过提供课程材料、计算机网络和研究机会，向教师提供组织和智力支持，-在全国范围内传播PEPP，并建立一个独特的地震阵列，使学生和教师能够通过互联网共享数据，并使真实的发现，-为了刺激仪器设计的发展，改善传感器在这个项目中使用。 PEPP植根于最近的发展，革命性的观测地震学。 新的高质量数字地震仪网络正在安装，无论是在美国地质勘探局的国家规模，以及在世界范围内。 IRIS是美国地震学机构（主要是学术机构）的联盟，是安装全球网络的驱动力。 学校网络在美国补充了这一点。 它不仅提供了用于课堂的真实的数据-它具有独特的科学潜力，因为它提供了一个站密度，这是使用纯粹的专业资源永远无法获得的。 在该项目的最后阶段，将为教师举办研究讲习班，利用这些数据。 该项目将使中学科学教师能够进行长期的网络化地震监测，这将有助于地震学研究，同时通过注入教师主导的、以学生为基础的科学研究，支持科学教育的改革。 通过将这项科学研究定位在学校，参与者将有助于将学校的科学教学转向更以项目为导向，以探究为基础的范式。

9355805 Nolet PEPP aims to install an array of seismographs in high schools and colleges nationwide, to create a computer network to share seismological data and information, to develop a series of Earth science and physics curriculum modules around analysis of seismological data, and to form a network of supporting members of IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, an NSF-supported consortium of more than 80 universities - see Appendix A) to train and support science teachers. The main goals of the project are: - The develop "hands on" seismological data acquisition equipment for use at high schools and colleges, to increase the curiosity of students to explain nature, - To increase the understanding of Earth science and physics concepts through connected lab experiments in seismology, while developing a sense of familiarity with the seismometer as an instrument for using these concepts, - To support teachers to do real "classroom science" with their students and provide scientific back-up for teachers as they undertake these activities with their students, - To stimulate interaction between teachers in Earth sciences and physics with researchers in geophysics, - To give teachers organizational and intellectual support by providing curriculum materials, computer networking as well as research opportunities, - To disseminate PEPP nationally and build a unique seismological array that allows students and teachers to share data over Internet and to make real discoveries, - To stimulate developments in instrument design that improves the sensor to be used in this project. PEPP is rooted in the recent developments that have revolutionized observational seismology. New networks of high quality, digital seismographs are being installed right now, both on a national scale by the USGS, as well as on a worldwide scale. IRIS, a consortium of (mostly academic) seismological institutions in the US is the driving force behind the installation of a worldwide network. The school network supplements this in the US. It not only provides real data for use in the classroom - it has unique scientific potential because it provides a station density that could never be obtained using purely professional resources. In the final stage of the project, research workshops for teachers will be developed in which the data are used. This project will enable secondary science teachers to undertake long-term, networked seismic monitoring that will contribute seismology research while supporting the reform of science education through the infusion of teacher-led, student-based scientific research. By locating this scientific research in schools, participants will help shift science instruction in their schools toward a more project- oriented, inquiry-based paradigm.
