TECHNICAL AND NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACT:This award provides partial support to a symposium titled "The Polymer Science of Everyday Things" including a half-day workshop for K-12 teachers. It will be held at the National ACS Meeting, Philadelphia PA, 19-20 August, 2012. The symposium and workshop will be focused on "Impact of Polymers in Energy Generation, Storage and Savings". NSF funds will be used primarily to facilitate attendance of K-12 teachers. Topics will include polymer insulation, energy reflecting paints, energy efficient lighting, as well as applications of polymers in energy generation including batteries and photovoltaics.Teachers teaching teachers about the applications of polymers is a primary goal of this workshop and symposium. With this objective, broader impacts are achieved by presentations to high school teachers of information readily incorporated in their courses. As such, maximum leverage for information transfer is achieved by the student multiplication factor. For the workshop four speakers are planned, including two industrial experts and two Polymer Ambassadors (who are teachers specially trained in polymer science).

技术和非技术摘要：该奖项为题为“日常事物的聚合物科学”的研讨会提供部分支持，包括为K-12教师举办的半天研讨会。 会议将于2012年8月19日至20日在宾夕法尼亚州费城举行。 研讨会和讲习班将集中在“聚合物在能源生产，储存和储蓄中的影响”。 NSF的资金将主要用于促进K-12教师的出勤。主题将包括聚合物绝缘，能量反射涂料，节能照明，以及聚合物在能源生产中的应用，包括电池和光化学。教师教教师关于聚合物的应用是这次研讨会和研讨会的主要目标。 有了这个目标，更广泛的影响是通过向高中教师介绍容易纳入他们的课程的信息来实现的。因此，最大限度地利用信息传输是由学生倍增因素。研讨会计划有四位发言人，包括两位工业专家和两位聚合物大使（他们是受过聚合物科学专门培训的教师）。
