SUMMARY OF FUNDED PROJECT AND SUPPLEMENT PROJECT Our currently funded SEPA project creates NGSS-aligned curriculum for students in grade eight at under- resourced urban and rural middle schools with high populations of financially disadvantaged and minority students. We are assessing the short-term impact of students completing the lessons, and the medium-term impact on career interests, coursework selection and perceived self-efficacy in grades nine and ten. The first curriculum module that the team designed focused on epidemiology and infectious diseases. “Investigations in Infectious Disease” is a five-lesson curriculum with four of the lessons taught by grade eight science teachers and one taking place onboard the mobile lab. For the classroom activities, students follow the steps in an epidemiological investigation and review case reports of patients infected with a foodborne bacterial illness. During the lesson on the mobile lab, students use gel electrophoresis to generate DNA fingerprints to identify the source of the outbreak. The curriculum was implemented in 29 classrooms during the 2019/20 school year prior to the pause in in-person schooling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Assessment results showed strong gains in student content knowledge and understanding of the principles of epidemiology. Of note is that the “Investigations in Infectious Disease” curriculum was created and implemented prior to the COVID-19 pandemic. As such, there is no information or resources for teachers about COVID-19 in the curriculum. Once schools resume in-person instruction, teachers will need easy access to accurate, relevant information about the pandemic, vaccine development and infection prevention to share with their students at all grade levels. For this supplement, we propose creating a classroom lesson on COVID-19 for middle school science teachers that can be taught as a supplement to the “Investigations in Infectious Disease” curriculum created for our currently funded project. Once we have collected feedback on the supplemental lesson from the teachers enrolled in the current study, we will make any needed revisions and make it available to any interested teacher. Since students at all grade levels will return to school with questions and concerns about the pandemic, we also propose creating a lesson for elementary school students that will take place on the mobile laboratory. Once we have incorporated teacher feedback, we will disseminate the curriculum to mobile labs and other outreach programs through our deep connections to these communities. Finally, we will create a laboratory experiment on PCR diagnosis of viruses like SARS-CoV-2 and accompanying content on the pandemic for high school students who come for field trips to our research campus. This experiment will take place in the Science Discovery Lab, our dedicated student lab, and will be led by a Seattle Children’s scientist. Collectively, these new resources will ensure that teachers and students have access to accurate, up-to-date information on the COVID-19 pandemic as they return to school in the 2020/21 school year, and beyond.

资助项目和补充项目汇总表 我们目前资助的SEPA项目为八年级的学生创建了NGSS对齐课程， 资源型城乡少数民族中学 学生我们正在评估学生完成课程的短期影响和中期影响 对九年级和十年级学生的职业兴趣、课程选择和自我效能感的影响。第一 该小组设计的课程模块侧重于流行病学和传染病。“调查 传染病”是一门五课的课程，其中四课由八年级的科学教师讲授 另一个发生在移动的实验室。在课堂活动中，学生按照 流行病学调查和审查食源性细菌性疾病患者的病例报告。 在移动的实验室的课程中，学生们使用凝胶电泳生成DNA指纹， 爆发的源头该课程于2019/20学年在29间教室实施 在COVID-19疫情导致的面授教育暂停之前。评估结果显示， 学生内容知识和流行病学原理的理解的增益。 值得注意的是，“传染病调查”课程是在2010年之前创建和实施的。 2019冠状病毒病大流行。因此，在《2019年全球教师健康报告》中没有为教师提供有关COVID-19的信息或资源。 课程。一旦学校恢复面对面教学，教师将需要方便地获得准确、相关的 有关流感大流行、疫苗发展及预防感染的资料，与学生分享， 所有级别。对于这一补充，我们建议为中学开设一门关于COVID-19的课堂课程 科学教师，可以作为“传染病调查”课程的补充教授 为我们目前资助的项目创建的。一旦我们收集了关于补充课程的反馈， 教师报名参加目前的研究，我们将作出任何必要的修订，并提供给任何 感兴趣的老师由于所有年级的学生都会带着问题和担忧回到学校， 我们还建议为小学生开设一堂课， 移动的实验室。一旦我们采纳了教师的反馈，我们将把课程传播到移动的 实验室和其他外展计划，通过我们与这些社区的深厚联系。最后，我们将创建一个 SARS-CoV-2等病毒的PCR诊断实验室试验及相关内容 大流行的高中生谁来实地考察我们的研究校园。这个实验将 放置在科学发现实验室，我们专门的学生实验室，并将由西雅图儿童科学家领导。 总的来说，这些新资源将确保教师和学生能够获得准确、最新的信息， 在2020/21学年及以后返校时提供有关COVID-19疫情的信息。
