The Portland Horizons Project: Integrating Science Education and Scientific Research

在这个项目的3年里，72名高中和初中教师以及36名学生将作为大气研究小组的成员，研究俄勒冈州波特兰市大都市区周围的10个大气区。每年夏天的活动包括为期4周的大气相互作用研究课程和为期一周的污染期间空气质量测量活动。预计将通过学年的行动研究项目转移到课堂上。一个互动网页将使所有合作伙伴能够访问数据、大气的实时模型和行动研究项目的说明。一所领先的高中将作为一个airshed区域的Horizons-Air站点，并将与其他四所初中/高中（Horizons-Met站点）合作。

9731541 George During the 3 years of this project, 72 high school and middle school teachers and 36 students will work as members of atmospheric research teams studying each of ten airshed around the Portland, OR metropolitan area. Each summer's activities include a 4-week atmospheric interaction research course and a one-week air quality measurement campaign during a pollution episode. Transfer to the classroom is anticipated through action research projects during the academic year. An interactive webpage will enable all partners to access data, real time models of the atmosphere, and descriptions of the action research projects. A lead high school will serve as the Horizons-Air site for an airshed zone and will work collaboratively with four other middle/high schools, the Horizons-Met sites.
