DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the applicant's abstract): Scientists associated with the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) Marine and Freshwater Biomedical Sciences Center and professionals within the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM) School of Education will establish a collaborative relationship with several Milwaukee metropolitan schools. The long range objective is to develop a significant program to enhance the quality of the curriculum and instruction for students enrolled in middle school Life Science. There are two primary thrusts. The first involves the creation of a number of experiment modules that relate to the biomedical content of the course and which are designed to stimulate inquiry-based learning. At their center is the utilization of non-mammalian organisms in the classroom. Enrichment is provided with interactive videotape/CD-ROM materials that engage students with subject matter that cannot be brought into their classrooms. The second emphasis provides in-service teachers with a network of support that increases their knowledge, understanding, and ability to conduct laboratory experiments. It also offers pre-service teachers in training an opportunity to develop a strong foundation in life science. The Specific Aims are: A) to provide teachers with a suite of fully developed modules that emphasize hands-on, modern biomedical science; B) to surround the modules with support materials that utilize information technology; C) to provide a scientific community for teachers through workshops and meetings; D) to enhance the ability of teachers to facilitate critical thinking among students; E) to support teachers in distance learning, including interactions with scientists, teachers, and inter-classroom communication; F) to encourage female and minority interest and success in science; G) to initiate a model program to enhance life science education for pre-service teachers; and H) to provide thorough evaluation of the effectiveness of these aims.

描述（改编自申请人摘要）：相关科学家 与国家环境健康科学研究所（NIEHS）海洋 和淡水生物医学科学中心和专业人员在 威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校（UWM）教育学院将建立一个 与几所密尔沃基大都会学校建立了合作关系。 的 长期目标是制定一项重要计划， 中等教育学生的课程和教学质量 学校生命科学 有两个主要的推力。 第一个涉及 创建了一些与生物医学相关的实验模块， 课程的内容，旨在激发基于探究的 学习 他们的中心是利用非哺乳动物生物， 教室 通过互动录像带/光盘提供资料充实 材料，使学生与不能带入的主题， 他们的教室。 第二个重点是为在职教师提供一个 支持网络，增加他们的知识，理解和能力 进行实验室实验。 它还提供职前教师， 培训的机会，发展在生命科学的坚实基础。 的 具体目标是：A）为教师提供一套全面发展的 模块，强调动手，现代生物医学科学; B）围绕 模块与支持材料，利用信息技术; C）， 通过讲习班和会议为教师提供科学社区; D） 提高教师的能力，以促进批判性思维， 学生; E）支持教师进行远程学习，包括互动 与科学家，教师和课堂间的沟通; F）鼓励 妇女和少数民族对科学的兴趣和成功; G）发起一个模式 加强职前教师生命科学教育的计划;及H） 对这些目标的有效性进行全面评估。
