Interdisciplinary(99) Flame atomic absorption is being introduced into five chemistry courses and five biology courses including courses for non-science majors and into undergraduate research courses. Environmental concerns provide a common theme whereby students investigate; 1) environmental arsenic occurrence, 2) copper and iron in plant nutrition, and 3) assessment of local watersheds. Each spring students from all ten courses make presentations at a joint poster session.The project incorporates three prominent trends in science education: 1) the promotion of undergraduate involvement in authentic and relevant research science, 2) calls to situate traditional science content within "real-world" contexts and problems, and 3) a movement towards interdisciplinary teaching and learning. The project is serving as a national model for the simultaneous promotion of interdisciplinary research experience and context-based learning across several courses and curricula.

跨学科（99）火焰原子吸收正在被引入五门化学课程和五门生物课程，包括非科学专业的课程和本科研究课程。 环境问题提供了一个共同的主题，学生调查; 1）环境砷的发生，2）铜和铁在植物营养，和3）当地流域的评估。 每年春季，所有十门课程的学生都会在联合海报会议上发表演讲。该项目结合了科学教育的三个突出趋势：1）促进本科生参与真实和相关的研究科学，2）呼吁将传统科学内容融入“现实世界”的背景和问题中，3）走向跨学科的教学和学习。 该项目正在成为同时促进跨学科研究经验和跨几门课程的基于背景的学习的国家模式。
