SSC: "Summer Microscopy Institute for Middle School Students"

9450302纽堡扩大城市学区。这个项目旨在为50名少数民族7年级学生提供成功所需的目标导向。当个人渴望达到一个目标时，只有当他/她相信它可以实现的时候。目标会激发人们的学习欲望。已经创造了一个环境(一个设计独特的高科技模拟研究和开发设施)，学生将在其中参与解决问题的项目，并为他们提供与少数族裔榜样持续互动的机会，以便他们可以开始想象自己扮演这些角色，展望未来，并将自己想象成科学家、工程师和科学教师。此外，由于将为8名少数族裔高中生提供科学教学/辅导经验，他们是纽约州科学荣誉学会的成员，目前正在参加更高级别的科学课程。将举办在职课程，使教师能够掌握在多元文化环境下向少数族裔学生教授科学的适当策略，并制定和实施干预策略，以唤起少数族裔学生对科学的兴趣并增加他们对科学的参与。该计划还包括为学生家长举办的活动。该提案的重点是配备先进技术的学生团队，他们从事适合七年级学生的综合科学和数学问题解决研究。这种方法利用并鼓励学生对世界的想象力和自然的好奇心。这种学习环境的核心是两台扫描电子显微镜、一台扫描隧道显微镜和一台透射式电子显微镜(已经由我们的行业/高等教育合作伙伴捐赠或借来)。显微镜的互动性强调视觉和动觉学习，并强调需要一种与学生对当今科学教育应该是什么样子的认知相一致的学习模式。

SSC-9450302 Newburgh Enlarged City School Dist. Newburgh, NY Saturnelli, Annette "Summer Microscopy Institute For Middle School Students" This program is designed to provide 50 minority 7th grade students with the goal orientation needed for success. As individual aspires to reach a goal, only if he/she believes it can happen. The goal creates the appetite for learning. An environment (a uniquely designed high-technology, simulated research and development facility) has been created where students will engaged in problem-solving projects and provided with opportunities for sustained interaction with minority role models so that they may begin to imagine themselves in these roles, project themselves into the future, and visualize themselves as scientists, engineers, and science teachers. In addition, as science teaching/mentoring experience will be provided for 8 minority high school students, members of the New York State Science Honor Society and currently enrolled in higher level science courses. An inservice course will be conducted that will enable teachers to acquire appropriate strategies for teaching science in a multi-cultural setting to minority students and to develop and implement intervention strategies for a awakening interest in and increasing participation of minority students in science. The program also includes activities for the parents of the students. The proposal focuses on teams of students, equipped with advanced technology, who are engaged in integrated science and math problem-solving research appropriate for students entering the 7th grade. The approach takes advantage of and encourages the students' imagination and natural curiosity with the world. At the core of this learning environment are two scanning electron microscopes, a scanning tunneling microscope, and a transmission electron microscope (already donated by, or on loan from, our industry/higher education partners). The interactiveness of the microscopes emphasiz es visual and kinesthetic learning and addresses the need for a mode of learning congruent with the student's perception of what science education should be like today.
