On its 125th Anniversary, science magazine published a list of unanswered science questions that scientists are actively exploring. The High Adventure Science project tests whether using three fascinating and accessible Earth science topics from contemporary research is a replicable and sustainable strategy for increasing student interest in science and science careers and results in students learning important science concepts. Students reflect on how science proceeds by being connected with aspects of unanswered questions using computer-based learning activities that rely on inquiry and connect them to frontier research for periods of about one week two or three times per year. The structure and assessments used in the activities are designed to measure students' ability to reason using standards-based concepts. Teachers are introduced to the materials using an online course that addresses the acquisition of pedagogical and content knowledge. The combination of technology and inquiry is able to reach diverse students in under-resourced classrooms. The evaluation uses a delayed implementation design to measure changes in student attitudes about science and science careers and their acquisition of science knowledge.

在成立125周年之际，《科学》杂志发布了科学家正在积极探索的未解决科学问题的清单。 高冒险科学项目测试了当代研究中使用三个迷人和可访问的地球科学主题是否是一种可复制且可持续的策略，旨在提高学生对科学和科学职业的兴趣，并导致学生学习重要科学概念的学生。 学生们通过使用基于计算机的学习活动与未解决问题的方面联系来回顾科学如何进行，这些学习活动依靠查询并将其连接到Frontier Research，每年大约两周或三次。 活动中使用的结构和评估旨在衡量学生使用基于标准的概念推理的能力。 使用在线课程中介绍教师的材料，该课程解决了获得教学知识和内容知识的获取。 技术和询问的结合能够在资源不足的教室中吸引不同的学生。 评估使用延迟的实施设计来衡量学生对科学和科学职业的态度的变化及其对科学知识的获取。
