9819243CARMICHAELThis proposal, sponsored by the Lawrence Hall of Science, will develop and field test a module called the Student Radon Research curriculum module. The module will be an issues-oriented, investigation-centered earth science program specifically intended for grades 7-9. The module will consist of a series of activities related to the behavior of radon in the earth system. The modules use the techniques and instrumentation of professional scientists. The modules will allow students to gather radon and meteorological data derived from their own observations, use computers to store and analyze the data, prepare tables and graphs of the data and, based upon an analysis of the data, develop hypotheses. The module will also include a series of hands-on classroom activities which will introduce students to important science and mathematics concepts appropriate to the middle grades. The instructional materials will be such that they will easily supplement the regular earth science curriculum. Cost sharing funds amount to about 6% of the NSF award.

9819243 CARMICHAEL该提案由劳伦斯科学馆赞助，将开发和现场测试一个名为学生氡研究课程模块的模块。 该模块将是一个以问题为导向，以调查为中心的地球科学计划，专门针对7-9年级。 该模块将包括一系列与氡在地球系统中的行为有关的活动。 这些模块使用专业科学家的技术和仪器。 这些单元将使学生能够从自己的观测中收集氡和气象数据，使用计算机存储和分析数据，编制数据表格和图表，并根据数据分析提出假设。 该模块还将包括一系列实践课堂活动，向学生介绍适合中等年级的重要科学和数学概念。 教学材料将是这样的，他们将很容易补充常规地球科学课程。 成本分摊基金约占NSF奖金的6%。
