Track 2, GK-12: Teaching the Science in Everyday Life

本提案描述了阿肯色州大学与阿肯色州中学合作开发的轨道2项目。第一轨道项目是一个跨学科的项目，名为KIDS（K-12，我做科学），专注于将科学带入真实的生活。接受纳米科学培训的研究生研究员与中学教师合作，证明学生在实践中学习。在这个轨道2提案中，PI通过包括关于研究员，教师和学生成果的定量数据，传播结果以及通过指出在NSF资助之外维持项目的方式来展示轨道1阶段的成就。轨道2的主要目标是通过实施一个五年计划来维持该项目，从而在轨道1的基础设施上再接再厉。

This proposal describes a Track 2 project developed by University of Arkansas in collaboration with Arkansas Middle Schools. The Track 1 project was an interdisciplinary program called KIDS (K-12, I Do Science) focused on bringing science to real life. The Graduate Fellows trained in Nanosciences worked in collaboration with middle school teachers to demonstrate that students learn by doing. In this Track 2 proposal, PIs demonstrated the accomplishment of the Track 1 phase by including quantitative data about outcomes for Fellows, teachers and students, disseminating the results and also by indicating ways of sustaining the project beyond NSF funding. The primary goal of Track 2 is to build on the infrastructure of Track 1 by implementing a five-year plan to sustain the project.
