This proposal describes a Track 2 project developed by the University of California Berkeley, the Berkeley Natural History Museums (BNHM) and Field Stations with local K-12 urban schools, and with the rural schools near the Field Stations. The program starts with a short Summer Institute for Teachers, Graduate Fellows, and their Advisors. The school year then involves the collection of natural history data, from natural areas and schoolyards adjacent to the school, and then at Field Stations. The collections provide a foundation for a study, curation and identification of specimens using information from BNHM. Bioinformatics data are put into a database from schools and field stations to BNHM. Finally, an End-of-year Celebration involves all program persons to meet and present their results. Data generated is shared among participating schools and, over the course of the program, data becomes accessible to schools throughout the Bay Area. Graduate Fellows serve as facilitators with K-12 Teachers in student data collection, curation and identification, bioinformatics data preparation and end of year celebration activities.

该提案描述了由加州伯克利大学、伯克利自然历史博物馆（BNHM）和外地站与当地K-12城市学校以及外地站附近的农村学校开发的轨道2项目。 该计划开始于教师，研究生研究员和他们的顾问的短期暑期研究所。学年，然后涉及收集自然历史数据，从自然区和学校附近的校园，然后在外地站。这些收藏品为使用BNHM的信息进行标本的研究、管理和鉴定提供了基础。生物信息学数据从学校和外地站输入到BNHM的数据库。最后，年终庆祝活动涉及所有项目人员见面并展示他们的成果。所产生的数据在参与的学校之间共享，并且在该计划的过程中，整个湾区的学校都可以访问数据。 研究生研究员担任K-12教师在学生数据收集，策展和识别，生物信息学数据准备和年底庆祝活动的促进者。
