GK-12: The Bio-Bus Pilot Project

在过去的一年里，佐治亚州立大学成功地运营了生物巴士，这是一个30英尺的移动教学实验室，为佐治亚州的K- 12学校系统提供服务。与六个乔治亚州学校系统（不来梅市、卡罗尔顿市、卡罗尔县、迪凯特市、哈拉森县和保定县）合作，该大学提议启动GKI2生物巴士试点项目，这是主要生物巴士项目的延伸，为生物巴士参与者提供额外的准备和强化学习经验。在试点项目中，被选为GK12研究员的科学研究生和高级本科生将向合作地区的新手学习者展示一系列学习模块，这些模块包括科学探究、实践调查和学生自主学习。虽然以生物学主题为中心，但每个学习模块将采用多学科方法，在生物学背景下呈现基本的物理，化学和地质概念。将为在职教师及其GKI2伙伴提供生物技术暑期讲习班。完成暑期工作坊的教师将有资格进入生物巴士借阅实验室。哪个学校在学年期间为一周的生物技术实验提供免费的设备和用品

For the past year, Georgia State University has successfu 'Ily operated the Bio-Bus, a 3 0-foot mobile instructional laboratory that serves Georgia's K- 1 2 school systems. In partnership with six Georgia School systems (Bremen City, Carrollton City, Carroll County, Decatur City, Haralson County, and Paulding County), the University proposes to inaugurate the GKI2 Bio-Bus Pilot Project, an extension of the main Bio-Bus program that provides additional preparation and reinforcement learning experiences not currently available to Bio-Bus participants. For the Pilot Project, science graduate students and advanced undergraduates chosen as GK12 Fellows will present a selection of learning modules to novice learners in their partner districts that incorporate scientific inquiry, hands-on investigation, and student-directed learning. Though centered around a biological theme, each learning module will take a multidisciplinary approach, presenting fundamental physical, chemical and geological concepts in a biological context. Summer workshops in biotechnology will be provided for in-service teachers and their GKI2 Fellow partners. Teachers who complete the summer workshop will qualify for the Bio-Bus Lending Lab,. which provides free equipment and supplies for a week's worth of biotechnology experiments during the school year.0086392
