INTERDISCIPLINARY (99)This project creates, assesses, and disseminates interdisciplinary instructional materials that, while designed for use in chemistry, materials science, biology and physics courses, also help students draw connections among disciplines. The scope is molecular science including both the study of how molecular structure and motion lead to emergent macroscopic properties, and the synthesis and engineering of structures with desirable properties. The disciplines share both these goals of molecular science and recurring patterns that appear in the explanatory frameworks and tools. The materials will help make these recurring patterns explicit for students. Four virtual labs (VLs) that combine simulation and visualization tools with instructional support materials are being constructed. Each VL provides instruction and practice regarding a recurring pattern of molecular science. The project creates instructional materials that help students construct a coherent set of knowledge and intellectual resources that can be applied in situations that cross disciplines. Impact is enhanced by designing materials for use in current disciplinary courses, since this provides a means to broadly promote interdisciplinary education without requiring a substantial restructuring of the educational system. Broad use is further promoted by the following: the VLs are flexible learning resources that can be used in a variety of learning contexts, they are being tested in a variety of institution types, and they are being disseminated through existing successful digital libraries.

跨学科（99）该项目创建，评估和传播跨学科的教学材料，而设计用于化学，材料科学，生物学和物理课程，也帮助学生绘制学科之间的连接。范围是分子科学，包括研究分子结构和运动如何导致出现宏观特性，以及具有理想特性的结构的合成和工程。这些学科共享分子科学的这些目标和出现在解释框架和工具中的重复模式。这些材料将有助于使这些反复出现的模式明确的学生。四个虚拟实验室（VL），结合联合收割机模拟和可视化工具与教学支持材料正在建设中。每个VL都提供了关于分子科学循环模式的指导和实践。该项目创建教学材料，帮助学生构建一套连贯的知识和智力资源，可以应用于跨学科的情况。通过设计用于当前学科课程的教材，提高了影响力，因为这提供了一种广泛促进跨学科教育的手段，而不需要对教育系统进行重大改革。通过以下方式进一步促进广泛使用：虚拟学习语言是灵活的学习资源，可用于各种学习环境，正在各种机构类型中进行测试，并通过现有的成功数字图书馆进行传播。
