TECHNICAL SUMMARY:"The Polymer Science of Everyday Things" is an exciting multifaceted K-12 Workshop and Symposium to be held at the National American Chemical Society Meeting, Washington, DC, 16-20 August, 2009. The Workshop-Symposium has the goal of providing K-12 science teachers with information and instructional tools in a unique and powerful format. The Workshop-Symposium is synergistically planned to incorporate K 12 teacher participation and instruction and to explain how ?everyday things? depend on polymer science for their ubiquity. To achieve these goals a combination of features are employed. (1) The special focus is ?Impact of Polymers in Global Energy and Transportation?. Workshop-Symposium topics are focused on how the special and wide ranging properties of polymers lead to use in transportation, energy conservation, batteries, and solar cells. (2) For the Workshop, three two person teams are formed consisting of a Symposium speaker / expert and a Polymer Ambassador, who is a high school teacher specially trained in polymer science (?teachers teaching teachers?). Together, the three scientist/polymer ambassador teams develop three integrated presentations for the K-12 teacher Workshop. (3) The topics selected for the Workshop are automobile paints, automobile nanocomposites, and polymers used in airplanes The Workshop topics will afford ?platforms? to put together teaching modules or hands-on kits that impact K-12 education. NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY:Polymers or ?plastics? are used in many facets of ?everyday life?. "The Polymer Science of Everyday Things" is primarily an educational event comprised of a Workshop for K-12 teachers coupled with a scientific Symposium expanding on the topics presented in the Workshop. It will be held at the National American Chemical Society (ACS) Meeting in Washington, DC, 16-20 August, 2009. To maximize K-12 teacher participation, the Workshop-Symposium is planned in conjunction with the ACS Division of Chemical Education High School Day. The Workshop-Symposium is organized to effect information transfer between manufacturers, scientists, and teachers so as to provide K-12 teacher education about timely scientific developments that led to popularly-used products. The Workshop-Symposium focuses on providing K-12 science teachers with information and instructional tools in a unique and powerful format that will explain the ?Impact of Polymers in Global Energy and Transportation?. A Workshop ?product? is planned, that is, an instructional kit that can be used in K-12 science instruction. The Workshop-Symposium carries a multiplier effect as the information and instructional tools provided to the expected 70 high school teachers will in turn influence thousands of students who may be ?turned on to science? as a result.

技术摘要：“日常事物的聚合物科学”是一个令人兴奋的多方面的K-12研讨会和专题讨论会，将于2009年8月16日至20日在华盛顿举行的美国国家化学学会会议上举行。研讨会的目标是为K-12科学教师提供独特而强大的信息和教学工具。研讨会，研讨会是协同计划，将K 12教师的参与和指导，并解释如何？日常事物？都依赖于聚合物科学的普及为了实现这些目标，采用了特征的组合。(1)特别关注的是？聚合物在全球能源和运输中的影响？研讨会的主题集中在聚合物的特殊和广泛的性质如何导致在运输，节能，电池和太阳能电池中的使用。(2)对于研讨会，三个两人小组组成的研讨会发言人/专家和聚合物大使，谁是高中教师在聚合物科学专门培训（？老师教老师？）。三个科学家/聚合物大使团队共同为K-12教师研讨会开发了三个综合演示文稿。(3)研讨会选定的主题是汽车油漆，汽车纳米复合材料，和聚合物用于飞机研讨会的主题将提供？平台？将影响K-12教育的教学模块或实践工具包放在一起。非技术总结：聚合物还是？整形科？在很多方面都有应用日常生活？“日常事物的聚合物科学”主要是一个教育活动，包括一个K-12教师研讨会，以及一个科学研讨会，扩大研讨会中提出的主题。它将于2009年8月16日至20日在华盛顿举行的美国国家化学学会（ACS）会议上举行。为了最大限度地提高K-12教师的参与，研讨会研讨会计划与化学教育高中日的ACS部门一起。研讨会的组织是为了实现制造商，科学家和教师之间的信息传递，以便为K-12教师提供有关导致流行产品的及时科学发展的教育。研讨会研讨会的重点是提供K-12科学教师的信息和教学工具，在一个独特的和强大的格式，将解释？聚合物在全球能源和运输中的影响？工作室？产品？计划，也就是说，一个教学工具包，可用于K-12科学教学。研讨会进行了乘数效应的信息和教学工具提供给预期的70名高中教师将反过来影响成千上万的学生谁可能是？转向科学了吗结果是。
