This proposal describes a Track 1 project developed by the University of Tennessee Knoxville. This proposal focuses on the land, its distinctive features, the history and capitalizes on the Appalachian environment. The project's goal is to link earth science instruction with ongoing and new University research on climate and environmental history as reconstructed from natural earth archives including sediments, soils, tree rings, rocks, and fossils. The vehicle will be infusion of science discovery into the middle school curriculum by linking with ongoing research at the university. GK-12 fellows and their advisors will provide the links. Fellows and teachers will help students develop local research projects that give them a chance to experience all the steps of scientific research.The model holds promise of being effective in small rural schools where students who are not familiar with the work of scientists can get a real taste of discovery and analysis. Schools that have been identified for the project are all in very poor rural areas where there are few resources to encourage students to pursue STEM careers.

本提案描述了田纳西大学诺克斯维尔开发的轨道1项目。 该提案侧重于土地，其独特的特点，历史和利用阿巴拉契亚环境。 该项目的目标是将地球科学教学与正在进行的和新的大学气候和环境历史研究联系起来，这些研究是从自然地球档案中重建的，包括沉积物，土壤，树木年轮，岩石和化石。 该工具将通过与大学正在进行的研究相联系，将科学发现注入中学课程。 GK-12研究员及其顾问将提供链接。 研究员和教师将帮助学生开发当地的研究项目，让他们有机会体验科学研究的所有步骤。这种模式有望在小型农村学校有效，在那里，不熟悉科学家工作的学生可以获得真实的发现和分析的味道。 已被确定为该项目的学校都在非常贫困的农村地区，那里几乎没有资源鼓励学生从事STEM职业。
