9614743 Sullivan WGBH Educational Foundation is producing Season I of Zoom, a daily half-hour television series for children aged 8 to 11. Zoom, which is based on the highly successful 1970's series of the same name, features a cast of seven children who engage in activities and examine ideas submitted by youth who watch the show. The new Zoom will have an enhanced educational concentration, an emphasis on science and math activities and projects, and a comprehensive outreach campaign. A major focus of the series will be to develop "Habits of Mind" which promote the capacity to think about the same ideas and evidence in multiple ways; collect, organize, and recognize patterns in data; identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations; and develop skills of estimation, judgment, and data literacy. Season I will have three over-arching science and math-based themes: Structures, Things That Go, and Living Things. Each program will include two or three science and math segments, as well as encouragement to try these activities at home. From time to time, the cast will provide a "challenge" for viewers by asking them to conduct an activity as home and send in their results for presentation on a later show. Field-produced segments will feature children engaged in science or math projects that they have found particularly fascinating and have done on their own. The series also will revisit projects or "challenges" over the course of a season to demonstrate that science is an on-going, evolving endeavor and that new information may change old assumptions. Zoom outreach activities will include a Zoom science guide for educators, a World Wide Web Site, museum Zoom rooms, community partnerships with three national organizations that work with underserved children. In addition, every viewer who writes, calls an 800 number, or sends an e-mail will receive a free four-page newsletter with directions needed to complete activities from the series and to tackle challenge s that the cast issues to the audience. Kate Taylor will be Executive Producer for the project. She has been co-executive producer for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and for Degrassi Junior High. The Science and Math Director will be Candace Julyan, Senior Project Director at TERC. The Director of Outreach will be Beth Kirsch who oversees the development and implementation of national outreach campaigns for WGBH. The staff will work closely with a group of consultants and advisors with expertise in such areas as science and mathematics, informal science, outreach, and evaluation.

小行星9614743 WGBH教育基金会正在制作Zoom第一季，这是一部每天半小时的电视连续剧，面向8至11岁的儿童。 《变焦》是根据20世纪70年代非常成功的同名电视剧改编的，由七个孩子组成，他们参加活动，并研究观看节目的年轻人提交的想法。 新的Zoom将加强教育集中，强调科学和数学活动和项目，以及全面的推广活动。 该系列的一个主要重点将是发展“思维习惯”，促进以多种方式思考相同想法和证据的能力;收集，组织和识别数据模式;识别可以通过科学调查回答的问题;并发展估计，判断和数据素养的技能。 第一季将有三个以科学和数学为基础的主题：结构，事物和生物。 每个项目将包括两到三个科学和数学部分，以及鼓励在家里尝试这些活动。 演员们会不时地为观众提供一个“挑战”，要求他们在家里进行一项活动，并将结果提交给以后的节目。 现场制作的片段将以从事科学或数学项目的儿童为特色，他们发现这些项目特别吸引人，并自己完成。 该系列还将在一个赛季的过程中重新审视项目或“挑战”，以证明科学是一个持续的，不断发展的奋进，新的信息可能会改变旧的假设。 Zoom外联活动将包括为教育工作者提供的Zoom科学指南、万维网网站、博物馆Zoom室、与三个从事服务不足儿童工作的国家组织的社区伙伴关系。 此外，每一位写信、拨打800电话或发送电子邮件的观众都将收到一份免费的四页时事通讯，其中包括完成系列活动和应对演员向观众提出的挑战所需的指导。 凯特·泰勒将担任该项目的执行制片人。 她是《卡门·圣地亚哥在世界何处》的联合执行制片人。以及德格拉西初中。 科学和数学总监将是TERC的高级项目总监Candace Julyan。 外联主任将由Beth Kirsch担任，负责监督为WGBH开展的国家外联活动的制定和实施。 工作人员将与一组在科学和数学、非正式科学、外联和评估等领域具有专门知识的顾问和顾问密切合作。
