GK-12: Partners in Science Education: GK-12 Fellow at CU-Boulder

这个GK-12项目支持科罗拉多大学天体物理学、环境生物学和化学系的研究员在博尔德山谷学区与6 - 8年级和9 - 10年级的学生开展教育活动，特别是针对西班牙裔人口。 每年资助9名研究生和5名高级本科生。 主题是适应，实施和丰富的全选项科学系统（FOSS）模块，一个模块化的方法来教授小学科学。 强调科学（生物学和化学）中的微观-宏观联系。 合作伙伴包括松布雷罗沼泽自然中心，环境科学合作研究所，索恩生态研究所和博尔德市开放空间和山地公园。对环境问题的统一关注证明了知识价值。 更广泛的影响反映在学校的性质上，因为许多学校包括目前在科学方面代表性不足的群体的学生。 该项目部分由数学和物理科学理事会的资金支持。项目名称：科学教育合作伙伴：科罗拉多大学博尔德分校GK-12研究员机构：科罗拉多大学博尔德PI/Co-PI：Veronica Bierbaum，Margaret Asirvatham，Frances Bagenal，Andrew Martin，Lesley Smith合作学区：博尔德谷资助：$1，359，348研究员人数/年：9名研究生，5名本科生环境：郊区，农村目标受众：6至10年级NSF支持的学科涉及：物理，化学，生物学，地质学

This GK-12 project supports fellows at the University of Colorado, from the departments of Astrophysics, Environmental Biology, and Chemistry, for educational activities with 6th-8th graders and 9th-10th graders in the Boulder Valley school districts, targeting especially Hispanic populations. Nine graduate students and five advanced undergraduates are supported per year. The themes are adaptation, implementation and enrichment of Full Option Science System (FOSS) modules, a modular approach to teaching elementary school science. The microscopic-macroscopic connection in science (biology and chemistry) is emphasized. Partners include the Sombrero Marsh Nature Center, the Cooperative Institute for Environmental Science, Thorn Ecological Institute and the City of Boulder Open Space and Mountain Parks. The intellectual merit is evidenced by the unifying focus on environmental issues. Broader impacts are reflected in the nature of the schools, as many include students in groups currently underrepresented in science. This project is partially supported by funds from the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.Project Title: Partners in Science Education: GK-12 Fellows at CU-Boulder Institution: University of Colorado BoulderPI/Co-PI: Veronica Bierbaum, Margaret Asirvatham, Frances Bagenal, Andrew Martin, Lesley SmithPartner School Districts: Boulder Valley Funding: $1,359,348Number of Fellows/year: 9 graduate, 5 undergraduateSetting: Suburban, RuralTarget Audience: Grades 6 to 10NSF supported disciplines involved: physics, chemistry, biology, geology
