GLACIER: A Collaborative Antarctic Curriculum

9555842 Yentsch 这个为期3年的项目将开发和试点测试一个名为GLACIER的中学（6- 9）课程。 它利用正在进行的南极研究提供地质学原理、冰川地质学、地貌学、地理学、气象学、海洋学和环境科学领域的科学内容。 还包括必要的数学和动手探索。 该课程设想学生被分配到科学家的角色，连接到在线数据库和南极研究人员进行调查。 GLACIER与传统的中学科学课程相结合，并取代了部分课程。将制作一个全面的教员指南、录像介绍、学生档案袋和万维网环境。

9555842 Yentsch This 3-year project will develop and pilot test a middle-school (6- 9) curriculum called GLACIER. It uses on-going research in the Antarctica to deliver science content in the areas of geologic pronciples, glacial geology, geomorphology, geography, meteorology, oceanography and environmental science. Also included is the requisite mathematics and hands-on explorations. The curriculum envisions students, assigned to the role of scientist, connecting to on-line data bases and with Antarctic researchers to conduct their investigations. GLACIER integrates with, and replaces portions of, the traditional middle-school sciences curriculum. A comprehensive instructors' guide, video introduction, student portfolio and World Wide Web environment will be produced.
