"From Classrooms to Geoscience Careers: Developing, Testing and Disseminating a High School Module on Modeling Water in Urban Environments" is a Track 1 project aimed at developing resources to increase interest in geoscience careers for high school students. Ohio State University is undertaking activities to develop, implement, test, evaluate, and disseminate a module to be used in high school classrooms that promotes geoscience careers by allowing students to engage with mathematical (numerical) models to investigate local problems in hydrology. Though it is being tested locally, the module includes hands-on activities that can be deployed anywhere it rains. A sequence of modeling exercises of increasing complexity are being used in the classroom environment. The exercises culminate in a project in which students make a design decision as a result of land use change, viz. adapting to development. Training in using the module is being offered as an incentivized professional development workshop to the teachers in the partnering institution, the Metro School. After training, teachers will implement the module in their classrooms during the subsequent school year. OSU is evaluating the impact of this workshop, which helps STEM teachers meet standards outlined in the National Science Education Standards, as well as stated goals for several scientific literacies and Chapter 11 on models in the Common Core State Standards Initiative for Mathematics.

“从课堂到地球科学职业：开发、测试和传播关于城市环境中的水模型的高中模块”是第一轨道项目，旨在开发资源以提高高中生对地球科学职业的兴趣。俄亥俄州立大学正在开展活动，开发、实施、测试、评估和传播一个将在高中课堂上使用的模块，该模块通过允许学生参与数学(数字)模型来调查当地的水文学问题，从而促进地球科学的职业生涯。虽然该模块正在进行本地测试，但它包括可以在下雨的任何地方部署的动手活动。课堂环境中正在使用一系列日益复杂的建模练习。这些练习在一个项目中达到高潮，在这个项目中，学生根据土地利用的变化做出设计决定，即。适应发展。正在向合作机构--Metro School的教师提供使用该模块的培训，作为激励专业发展的讲习班。培训结束后，教师将在下一学年的课堂上实施这一模块。俄亥俄州立大学正在评估这次研讨会的影响，该研讨会帮助STEM教师达到国家科学教育标准中概述的标准，以及几种科学素养的既定目标和数学共同核心国家标准倡议中关于模型的第11章。
