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.

在创刊125周年之际，《科学》杂志发布了一份科学家们正在积极探索的悬而未决的科学问题清单。高冒险科学项目测试使用当代研究中的三个引人入胜和可访问的地球科学主题是否是一种可复制和可持续的战略，以提高学生对科学和科学事业的兴趣，并导致学生学习重要的科学概念。学生们反思科学是如何发展的，通过使用依赖于探究的基于计算机的学习活动，将未回答的问题的各个方面联系起来，并将他们与前沿研究联系起来，时间约为一周，每年两到三次。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进行推理的能力。通过一个在线课程向教师介绍这些材料，该课程涉及获得教学和教学知识。技术和探究的结合能够接触到资源不足的教室里的不同学生。该评估使用延迟实施设计来衡量学生对科学和科学职业的态度以及他们对科学知识的获取的变化。
