Travel Awards: Incorporating Polymer Science Research into the High School Classroom

技术和非技术概要要求提供4,000美元的资金，并建议提供资金，用于支付10名教师、研究生和初级教师演讲者的差旅费，该研讨会将于2015年3月22-26日在丹佛举行的第249届美国化学学会全国会议上举行，主题为“在课堂上整合聚合物科学和化学研究”。上一次类似的研讨会是在2013年的ACS春季会议上举行的。该研讨会旨在将高中教师、大学教师和研究生聚集在一起，参与创建基于当前聚合物研究的研究型课堂活动、实验室实验和讲座，以便在课堂上实施。研讨会将成为教育工作者分享最佳做法、交流课堂活动和建立持续交流和合作开发以研究为基础的课程的网络的场所。对于首次提交奖项的机构，以及那些服务于代表性不足人口的机构，将给予特别考虑。

TECHNICAL AND NON-TECHNICAL ABSTRACTFunds in the amount of $4,000 were requested and have been recommended to provide for travel support of ten teachers, graduate student and junior faculty presenters at a symposium entitled 'Integrating Polymer Science and Chemistry Research in the Classroom' to be held at the 249th ACS National meeting on March 22-26, 2015 in Denver CO. A similar symposium was last held at the ACS spring meeting in 2013.The Symposium is designed to bring together high school teachers, university faculty, and graduate students involved in creating research-based class-room activities, laboratory experiments, and lectures based on current polymer research for implementation in the classroom. The symposium will serve as a venue for educators to share best practices, exchange classroom activities, and build a network for continuing exchange and collaborative development of research based curricula. Special consideration for the awards will be given for institutions submitting for the first time, and those serving underrepresented populations.
