Community Oriented Science Education (COSE) is a three year exploratory project to develop learning activities, thematically linked by the standards-based concept of energy transfer, covering about 16 class periods of middle school science. The activities highlight the fundamental processes and the integrative nature of 21st Century scientific investigations and are coupled to design-oriented, project-based experiences that enable students to apply emerging conceptual understandings while conducting community-oriented investigations in culturally relevant contexts. The materials provide experience with the concept of energy as it relates to students' lives, say in operating electronic devices, while providing understanding of and experience with rigorous scientific investigation. Students participate in teacher-guided research projects before executing a student designed and directed research project related to energy and its uses. Ample opportunity is provided for small group interactions to promote social construction of knowledge. The project evaluates the prototype materials designed to promote the development of robust STEM identities of middle school urban youth in field tests at inner city schools with student populations representative of the ethnic and socio-economic diversity that typifies many urban American schools. Materials are assessed on their capacity to affect student attitudes, interests and achievements in STEM courses, to impact student abilities to think critically and quantitatively, and to contribute to a framework on which to base more materials and intervention strategies. In the field tests, information from students is gathered through the use of SMART phones and other of digital formats. Learning is assessed through embedded assessments and performance tasks.

面向社区的科学教育（COSE）是一个为期三年的探索性项目，旨在开发学习活动，通过基于标准的能量转移概念将主题联系起来，涵盖中学科学的16个课时。 这些活动突出了21世纪世纪科学调查的基本过程和综合性质，并与以设计为导向的，基于项目的经验相结合，使学生能够应用新兴的概念理解，同时在文化相关的背景下进行面向社区的调查。 这些材料提供了能源概念的经验，因为它与学生的生活有关，比如操作电子设备，同时提供了对严格科学调查的理解和经验。 学生参与教师指导的研究项目，然后执行学生设计和指导的研究项目，与能源及其使用。 为小群体互动提供了充分的机会，以促进知识的社会建构。 该项目评估了原型材料，旨在促进发展强大的STEM身份的中学城市青年在内城学校的实地测试与学生群体代表的种族和社会经济多样性，典型的许多城市美国学校。 评估材料的能力，以影响学生的态度，兴趣和成就，在STEM课程，影响学生的批判性和定量思考的能力，并有助于一个框架，在此基础上更多的材料和干预策略。 在实地测试中，通过使用智能手机和其他数字格式收集学生的信息。 学习通过嵌入式评估和绩效任务进行评估。
