This one-year project led by Oklahoma State University brings together faculty from the Department of Geology, science educators from the School of Teaching and Curriculum Leadership, and eight in-service high school teachers in authentic geosciences experiences focused on Oklahoma's groundwater geochemistry. Non-Earth Science high school teachers from schools serving a large population of Native American and low socio-economic status students will participate in a 10-day program of laboratory and field experiences to expose them to key concepts, scientific questions, and techniques in geochemistry. Because the Earth Sciences are the most under-represented science in Oklahoma high schools, this project aims to equip non-Earth Science teachers with the tools needed to incorporate Earth Science content into their Chemistry, Biology, and Physics classrooms. Evaluation activities will document the extent to which teacher geoscience content knowledge improves and how this improved understanding translates to classroom practice.

这个由俄克拉荷马州立大学领导的为期一年的项目汇集了地质学系的教员、教学和课程领导学院的科学教育工作者以及八名在职高中教师，他们在真实的地球科学经验中专注于俄克拉荷马州的地下水地球化学。来自为大量美国原住民和低社会经济地位学生服务的学校的非地球科学高中教师将参加为期10天的实验室和实地体验计划，让他们接触到地球化学中的关键概念、科学问题和技术。由于地球科学是俄克拉荷马州高中中代表性最低的科学，该项目旨在为非地球科学教师配备必要的工具，将地球科学内容融入他们的化学、生物和物理课堂。评估活动将记录教师地球科学教学知识的改进程度，以及这种改进的理解如何转化为课堂实践。
