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

技术和非技术摘要申请并建议提供4，000美元的资金，用于10名教师、研究生和初级教员的差旅费，他们将参加3月22日至26日在第249届ACS全国会议上举行的题为“将聚合物科学和化学研究纳入课堂”的研讨会。2015年在丹佛举行的一次类似的研讨会上一次是在2013年的ACS春季会议上举行的。研讨会旨在汇集高中教师，大学教师和研究生参与创建基于研究的课堂活动，实验室实验，以及基于当前聚合物研究的讲座，以便在课堂上实施。研讨会将为教育工作者提供一个分享最佳实践、交流课堂活动的场所，并为继续交流和合作开发研究型课程建立一个网络。首次提交的机构和为代表人数不足的人口服务的机构将得到特别考虑。

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.
