Students and Teachers As Research Scientists (STARS)

这是一个为期三年的项目。每年将有24名科学教师和48名他们的高潜力学生参加密苏里大学圣彼得堡分校的研究体验。路易斯或该地区其他合作研究机构。教师和学生可以选择的研究领域包括人类学、天文学、生物学、化学、计算机科学、地球科学、工程学、物理学和心理学或数学。这项研究是与合作的科学家在为期六周的暑期计划中完成的。通过数据分析、实验室程序和研讨会的正式指导，参与者为研究经验做好准备。在不同的研究地点举行的八个学年后续会议为教师和他们的学生团队成员提供了与项目同行和其他受邀师生分享的机会。通过制定与利用研究经验中的实验室信息有关的教案，促进将研究经验转移到课堂上。电子公告牌将使参与者之间能够继续互动。

Each year it will involve 24 science teachers and 48 of their high potential students in a research experience at the University of Missouri-St. Louis or other collaborating research institutions in the region. Research areas teachers and students may select from include anthropology, astronomy, biology, chemistry, computer science, earth science, engineering, physics, and psychology or mathematics. The research is done with collaborating scientists in a six-week summer program. Participants are prepared for the research experience through formal instruction in data analysis, laboratory procedures, and seminars. Eight academic-year follow-up meetings at different research sites provide an opportunity for teachers and their student team members to share with program peers and other invited teachers and students. Transfer of the research experience to the classroom is facilitated by the development of lesson plans relating to the use of the laboratory information from their research experience. An electronic bulletin board will enable continued interaction among participants.
