Developing "Suitcase Lessons in Oceanography" for K-6 students in concert with the FOSS-based science curriculum currently in use by a tri-county Educational Service District

与三县教育服务区目前使用的基于自由/开源软件的K-6科学课程一起开发“海洋学手提箱课程”俄勒冈州的三个县目前正在通过以探究为基础的实践课程将教育模式从以教为中心转变为以学习为中心，从而改善学校的科学教育。它以科学教师伙伴计划(SEPS)为基础，在该计划中，从K-6年级起的每个年级都采用了全选项科学系统(FOSS)，并建立了伙伴关系，以帮助教师为所有学生提供高质量的科学教育。该计划由一个由教师、科学家和对实践科学有经验和/或感兴趣的管理人员组成的小组提供建议。SEPS计划不仅成功地提高了年轻学生对科学的兴趣和知识，而且通过提高年轻学生对高等教育可能带来的机会和职业的认识，也产生了积极的影响。然而，课程中没有海洋科学的内容。该项目的目标是解决这一不足之处。该项目将产生并测试使用“海洋学手提箱课程”的概念，结合正在进行的课程，将海洋科学融入林恩-本顿-林肯教育服务区(ESD)的K-6科学教育。将创建一个完整的便携模块(“手提箱课程”)，允许任何教职员工向K-6学生介绍海洋科学的基础科学概念。这一方法的目的是直接满足国家科学教育机构的全民科学素养目标；真正理解科学过程；培养终身学习科学的愿望。此外，它还解决了将海洋科学纳入终身教育方案的当前需要，旨在促进对海洋及其与日常生活的相关性的基本了解。

Developing "Suitcase Lessons in Oceanography" in concert with the FOSS-based K-6 Science Curriculum Currently in Use in a Tri-County EducationalService DistrictThree counties in Oregon are currently involved in improving science education in schools by changing the education paradigm from teaching-centered to learning-centered via inquiry-based hands-on curricula. It is based on a Science-Teacher Partnership Program (SEPS), in which Full Option Science Systems (FOSS) have been adopted for each grade level from K-6, and partnerships have been established to help teachers provide a quality science education for all students. The program is advised by a panel composed of teachers, scientists and administrators with experience and/or interest in hands-on science. The SEPS program has been successful not only in enhancing the young students interest and knowledge of science, but has also had a positive impact by increasing younger students awareness of opportunities and of careers made possible by higher education. However, there is no ocean science component in the curriculum. The objective of this project is to address that deficiency. The project will generate and test the concept of using "Suitcase Lessons in Oceanography", in concert with ongoing curriculum, to infuse ocean science into K-6 science education in the Linn-Benton-Lincoln Educational Service District (ESD). A complete portable module ("Suitcase Lesson") will be created which will allow any faculty member to introduce fundamental science concepts of ocean science to K-6 students. This approach aims at directly addressing NSES goals of science literacy for all; real understanding of scientific processes; and development of a desire for science learning throughout life. In addition it addresses the current need of integrating ocean sciences in a life-long educational program aimed at promoting a basic understanding of the oceans and their relevance to everyday life.
