Using Scientific Visualization to Learn Earth Systems Science

9802053戈尔丁这个项目是为了支持全球计划的目标，即使用科学可视化将学生和科学家的工作联系起来，并帮助学生将地球环境作为一个综合系统进行研究。可视化是针对初中生和高中生的；初中阶段的重点是通过他们的底层数据来操纵可视化，从而帮助学生使用和学习代数。高中活动使用可视化来研究全球四个主要领域中的每一个领域的全球过程，即大气、水圈、土地利用/生物和土壤。这些活动的实施得到了伴随的虚拟社交空间的帮助，教师、学生、科学家和教育工作者可以在那里讨论和操纵可视化。材料将以多媒体形式提供，包括纸张、万维网和光盘。

9802053 Gordin This project is to support the GLOBE program objectives of using scientific visualization to connect the work of students and scientists and to help students study the Earth's environment as an integrated system. The visualizations are for middle and high school students; emphasis at the middle school level is for manipulation of visualizing through their underlying data, thus helping student employ and learn algebra. The high school activities use visualization to study global processes in each of GLOBE's four primary areas, atmosphere, hydrosphere, land use/biology and soil. The enactment of these activities is aided by accompanying virtual social space where teachers, students, scientists, and educators can discuss and manipulate visualizations. Materials are to be available in multimedia, including paper, World Wide Web and CD-ROM.
