项目摘要

Scientists at the University of Washington's (UW) Polar Science Center and science educators at Pacific Science Center in Seattle, WA will collaborate to create polar science planetarium shows using the new Digitalis projection system in Pacific Science Center's Willard Smith Planetarium. The polar shows will be presented daily at the planetarium, for a total of 700 showings over the course of this project. Polar scientists and graduate students will participate in a course designed to teach skills in public communication of science and then will participate in a smaller number of live presentations of the planetarium shows. Selected polar shows will also be "Domecast" to other planetariums around the country. Researchers will contribute to the study of cognition in the affective realm, looking specifically at how choices made in the presentation style, image selection and content can result in emotional engagement of the viewer and increased interest in the content.The content for the shows will consist of two parts: (1) general material about the polar regions, made suitable for elementary school children in grades 3-5, and (2) material derived from active research projects, made suitable for general audiences. The proposed activities are meant to inspire greater interest, appreciation, and enjoyment of science; stimulate students to consider careers in STEM fields; inform the public about NSF's contribution to polar science; impart an awareness of the Earth's polar-regions and their role in global climate; and increase participating scientists' comfort and ability to communicate with public audiences. Evaluations will determine the impact of these planetarium shows on the engagement of the public with the polar sciences.

华盛顿大学 (UW) 极地科学中心的科学家和华盛顿州西雅图太平洋科学中心的科学教育者将利用太平洋科学中心威拉德·史密斯天文馆的新型洋地黄投影系统合作制作极地科学天文馆表演。天文馆每天都会上演极地表演，整个项目期间总共放映 700 场。极地科学家和研究生将参加一门旨在教授公共科学传播技能的课程，然后将参加少量的天文馆表演现场演示。选定的极地表演也将“直播”到全国其他天文馆。研究人员将为情感领域的认知研究做出贡献，特别关注演示风格、图像选择和内容的选择如何能够引起观众的情感参与并增加对内容的兴趣。节目内容将由两部分组成：(1) 有关极地的一般材料，适合 3-5 年级的小学生，(2) 来自活跃研究项目的材料，适合普通观众。拟议的活动旨在激发人们对科学的更大兴趣、欣赏和享受；激发学生考虑 STEM 领域的职业；向公众通报 NSF 对极地科学的贡献；提高人们对地球极地地区及其在全球气候中的作用的认识；提高参与科学家的舒适度以及与公众交流的能力。评估将确定这些天文馆表演对公众参与极地科学的影响。
