Natural Disasters & HealthNDH will inspire and inform middle school students about life-threatening health effects of natural disasters. Students role-play scientists in 90-min live simulations.

自然灾害与健康（NDH）将激励和告知中学生 自然灾害对生命的威胁健康的影响，以此激发他们对 科学NDH的目标是提高学生对人体系统的科学素养 利用自然灾害;培养学生的批判性思维，协作和沟通 识别和有效应对问题的技能;促进社区参与、职业生涯 意识和参与者的多样性;并对SIM进行稳健的评估，并探索 其社会科学影响。在过去的几年里，数百万美国人经历了 飓风、暴风雪、洪水、干旱、地震甚至火山爆发。自然 灾难已经变得普遍和个人-孩子们可以把他们的生活经验， 课堂讨论。NDH将提供90分钟的现场灾难健康教育视频 会议，角色扮演模拟结合游戏化。学生作为医疗 响应者使用身体系统知识做出紧急情况的关键决策 治疗他们对幸存者进行分类，诊断受伤情况并确定治疗方案。以下 在SIM卡上，教师可以邀请当地公共卫生或应急管理官员与之交谈， 他们的课程是关于该地区历史上和未来可能发生的自然灾害。教师小组， 将在整个项目期间定期开会，以确保 NDH符合中学教师和学生的需求。所有NDH活动将 由专业发展的支持，和NDH资源中心将包括课程， 身体系统和灾难，职业信息已纳入SIM和所有课程。一 稳健随机区组设计将测试SIM的有效性。NDH研究 组件探讨了两个问题：首先，我们研究如何增加对社会科学的重视， 问题影响中学生对科学的态度、科学的相关性、科学与科学的关系 普通的生活。第二个问题调查了NDH对中产阶级的行为影响 学生及其家庭在参加后的一年内， 节目 !

Natural Disasters & Health (NDH) will inspire and inform middle school students about the life-threatening health effects of natural disasters as a way to stimulate their interest in science. The goals of NDH are to improve student scientific literacy of human body systems using natural disasters; develop student critical thinking, collaboration and communication skills to identify and effectively respond to problems; promote community involvement, career awareness, and diversity of participants; and perform a robust evaluation of the sim and explore its socioscientific impact. Over the last few years, millions of Americans have lived through hurricanes, blizzards, floods, droughts, earthquakes and even volcanic eruptions. Natural disasters have become common and personal – kids can bring their lived experiences to classroom discussions. NDH will provide disaster health education in live, 90-minute video conferenced, role-playing simulations incorporating gamification. Students act as medical responders using body systems knowledge to make critical decisions about emergency treatment. They triage survivors, diagnosis injuries and determine treatment options. Following the sim, a teacher can invite local public health or emergency management officials to talk to their classes about historic and likely future natural disasters at that location. A Teachers Panel, as used to develop this proposal, will meet periodically throughout the project to ensure that NDH matches the needs of middle school teachers and students. All NDH activities will be supported by professional development, and a NDH Resource Center will include curricula on body systems and disasters, with career information integrated into the sim and all curricula. A robust randomized block design will test the effectiveness of the sim. The NDH research component explores two questions: first, we examine how adding an emphasis on socioscientific issues influences middle school students' attitudes about science, its relevance, and its relation to ordinary life. The second question investigates the behavioral impacts of NDH on middle school students and their families at various intervals in the year following their participation in the program. !
