Abstract: Using the STEM Dimensions of Bioenergy Sustainability to Bring Leading-edge Graduate Research to K-12 Learning Settings.The intellectual focus of this new GK-12 project at the W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) is on the ecological dimensions of bioenergy sustainability. Graduate students in Michigan State University?s Ecology, Evolutionary Biology & Behavior and Environmental Science & Public Policy programs who are engaged in STEM research at KBS will partner with teachers in the KBS K-12 Partnership for Science Literacy, the new Department of Energy Great Lakes Bioenergy Research Center (GLBRC), and the NSF Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) project on the Ecology of Agricultural Landscapes. Project activities include establishing schoolyard science research plots in K-12 Partner districts that mimic aspects of GLBRC research plots and serve as the foundation for a schoolyard research network. Fellows will work collaboratively with each other, their advisors, and project partners to incorporate their own research into K-12 research and inquiry activities that address Michigan and national science education standards.Fellows will improve their ability to place their research in its broader societal and global contexts, to collaborate across disciplines, to integrate their research and teaching, and to communicate their research to professional, K-12 and public audiences. The opportunity to work collaboratively with fellows on authentic research related to pressing national needs will enhance the professional development of the K-12 partner teachers and enrich the education of K-12 students. This project will also enhance ongoing efforts at KBS to recruit a greater number and diversity of young people into STEM science disciplines.

翻译后摘要：使用生物能源可持续性的STEM维度 将前沿的研究生研究带到K-12学习环境中。这个新的GK-12项目的智力重点是在W.K.凯洛格生物站（KBS）是关于生物能源可持续性的生态层面。 密歇根州立大学的研究生？在KBS从事STEM研究的生态学、进化生物学行为学和环境科学公共政策项目的教师将与KBS K-12科学素养伙伴关系、新能源部五大湖生物能源研究中心（GLBRC）和NSF长期生态研究（LTER）农业景观生态学项目的教师合作。 项目活动包括在K-12合作区建立校园科学研究地块，模仿GLBRC研究地块的各个方面，并作为校园研究网络的基础。 研究员将与彼此，他们的顾问和项目合作伙伴合作，将自己的研究纳入K-12研究和调查活动，以解决密歇根州和国家科学教育标准。研究员将提高他们的能力，将他们的研究置于更广泛的社会和全球背景下，跨学科合作，整合他们的研究和教学，并将他们的研究传达给专业，K-12和公众观众。有机会与研究员合作进行与迫切的国家需求相关的真实研究，将加强K-12合作伙伴教师的专业发展，丰富K-12学生的教育。 该项目还将加强KBS正在进行的努力，以招募更多数量和多样性的年轻人进入STEM科学学科。
