The University of Florida's Museum of Natural History, Center for Precollegiate Education and Training, College of Education, Center for Women's Studies and Gender Research, and Departments of Environmental Engineering Sciences and Zoology, will team with the School Board of Alachua Country to promote science and engineering careers by placing graduate students into classrooms to implement inquiry-based modules on Ecosystem Health and Sustainability. The target will be middle schools in Alachua County with large populations of students from populations underrepresented in science and engineering. Graduate students in Zoology and Environmental Engineering Sciences will be paired with teachers. As a team, they will participate in a summer institute and a workshop to learn and discuss pedagogy associated with inquiry-based learning, to review state and national science standards, and to decide upon specific topics that meet the needs of individual classrooms and take advantage of team members' expertise. Graduate Fellows and teachers will design and modify modules focused on Ecosystem Health and Sustainability. These modules will specifically address national and state science standards, and will stress hands-on exploration of environmental "mysteries". Experimentation, data collection, analysis, and interpretation of results will be stressed. Projects will have immediate relevance to the students' lives and will be posted on a website. All classrooms participating in the project will be furnished with computers and technical support to facilitate this web-based communication. After testing and refinement, modules will be made widely available through summer training workshops, in which kits for implementation of modules will be provided free of charge. Modules and complete instructions will also be made available and widely advertised on the web. To provide mentoring, Graduate Fellows will select from a menu of options for working individually or in small groups with students. Likewise, middle school students will become role models for peers and younger children by participating in already-established science programs designed to provide opportunities for sharing scientific learning. Specifically, the program aims to: o foster middle school students' desire to pursue careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, especially within underrepresented groups. o provide support and preparation for Graduate Fellows to pursue a career in education. o improve science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curricula in the public schools while addressing state and federal standards.

佛罗里达大学自然历史博物馆、大学前教育和培训中心、教育学院、妇女研究和性别研究中心、环境工程科学系和动物学系，将与阿拉楚阿国家的学校董事会合作，通过将研究生安置到教室里进行调查，促进科学和工程事业-基于生态系统健康和可持续性的模块。 目标将是阿拉楚阿县的中学，那里有大量来自科学和工程专业人数不足的学生。 动物学和环境工程科学的研究生将与教师配对。 作为一个团队，他们将参加暑期研究所和研讨会，学习和讨论与探究式学习相关的教学法，审查州和国家科学标准，并决定满足个别教室需求的具体主题，并利用团队成员的专业知识。 研究生研究员和教师将设计和修改侧重于生态系统健康和可持续性的模块。这些模块将专门解决国家和州的科学标准，并将强调环境“奥秘”的实践探索。 实验，数据收集，分析和结果的解释将被强调。 项目将与学生的生活直接相关，并将张贴在网站上。 所有参与该项目的教室都将配备计算机和技术支持，以促进这种基于网络的交流。 在测试和改进之后，将通过夏季培训讲习班广泛提供这些单元，在讲习班上将免费提供执行这些单元的成套工具。 还将在网上提供并广泛宣传这些单元和完整的说明。 为了提供指导，研究生研究员将从一个选项菜单中选择单独工作或与学生一起小组工作。 同样，中学生将通过参加旨在提供分享科学学习机会的现有科学项目，成为同龄人和年幼儿童的榜样。 具体而言，该方案旨在：o培养中学生追求科学、技术、工程和数学职业的愿望，特别是在代表性不足的群体中。 o为研究生研究员从事教育事业提供支持和准备。 o改进公立学校的科学、技术、工程和数学课程，同时满足州和联邦标准。项目名称：探究式合作教育中的科学伙伴（S.P.I.C.E.） 机构：佛罗里达大学PI/Co-PI：道格拉斯水平，让·安迪诺，贝蒂坎普，罗伯塔哈布鲁克，玛丽乔Koroly合作学区：阿拉楚阿县融资：$1，445，013每年研究员人数：9毕业生设置：农村项目的目标受众：中学NSF支持的学科涉及：科学和工程
