National High School Space Weather Network

项目总结半球：开发国家高中磁强计阵列：我们建议为全国各地的学校提供测量和实验地球自然环境的机会，为国家的空间气象方案提供数据，并提供有效的教学工具，对年轻科学家进行空间环境教育。我们已经开发出一种相对便宜，强大，灵敏的磁力计墨水形式，可以购买和分发给学校，由学生组装，然后设置和用于获取研究质量的数据。教师将接受操作培训，以及如何在演示“空间天气”的课堂活动中使用这些设备。“这些数据将通过一个基于网络的数据库进行传输，这样学生们就可以将他们的本地读数与非洲大陆其他地方的学生的读数进行比较，大学和其他研究人员也可以利用这些数据来研究地磁超低频（ULF）波。低至中纬度的磁脉动提供了有关太阳风-磁层相互作用以及磁层和电离层动态耦合的重要信息。在低至中纬度可观测到的磁场变化包括：Pc 3- 4脉动（周期为10-45秒），被认为是在上游弓形激波和/或磁鞘中产生的;以及Pi 2爆发（周期为40-150秒的阻尼脉动），与亚暴膨胀的开始有关。该提案寻求资金，以便培训高级中学科学教师使用感应线圈磁强计，提供了解空间物理研究中磁脉动数据所需的基本空间科学内容，并在空间物理学家与当地中学科学教师及其学生之间建立指导关系。这些关系将使磁力计数据在科学和教育上得到充分利用。具体来说，我们计划开发磁力计的文档、测试仪器的培训材料和在教室使用仪器的教育材料。该材料将成为在加州大学洛杉矶分校举办的为期一周的教师讲习班的基础，该讲习班将汇集六名来自不同地理位置的科学教师，他们已经在美国国家海洋和大气管理局空间环境中心举办了空间气象讲习班，以便培训他们成为使用和实施磁力计的硕士教师。该项目通过为高中提供真实的空间物理仪器和ULF数据进行分析，直接影响大学预科教育。

PROJECT SUMMARYHEMISPHERE: Developing a National High School Magnetometer Array.We propose to offer schools across the country the opportunity to measure and experimentwith Earth's natural environment, to contribute data to the nation's space weatherprogram, and to have effective teaching tools to educate young scientists about the spaceenvironment. We have developed a relatively inexpensive, robust, sensitive magnetometer inkit form that can be purchased and distributed to schools, assembled by students, then setup and used to take research-quality data. Teachers will be trained in their operation andhow to use them in classroom activities that demonstrate "space-weather." The data will betransmitted through a Web-based database, so that students can compare their localreadings with those of students at other sites around the continent and can be used byuniversity and other researchers to study geomagnetic Ultra-Low Frequency (ULF) waves.Low- to mid- latitude magnetic pulsations provide important information about the solarwind-magnetosphere interaction and the dynamic coupling of the magnetosphere andionosphere. The magnetic variations observable at low to mid latitudes include: Pc 3-4pulsations (periods of 10-45 s), which are thought to have their source in the upstreambow shock and or magnetosheath; and Pi 2 bursts (damped pulsations with 40-150-s periods)which are associated with substorm expansion onsets. This proposal seeks funding to trainMaster High School science teachers in the use of induction coil magnetometers, providethe basic space science content needed for the understanding of magnetic pulsation data inspace physics research, and develop mentoring relationships between space physicists andlocal high school science teachers and their students. These relationships will allow themagnetometer data to be fully utilized both scientifically as well as educationally.Specifically we plan to develop the documentation for the magnetometer, training materialfor testing the instrument, and educational material for using the instrument in theclassroom. This material will be the basis for a one-week teacher workshop at UCLAbringing together six geographically diverse science teachers that have already gonethrough a space weather workshop at NOAA Space Environment Center in order to train themas Master Teachers in the use and implementation of the magnetometer. This projectdirectly impacts pre-college education by providing High Schools with real-life spacephysics instrumentation and ULF data for analysis.
