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（改编自申请人的摘要）：相关科学家 与国家环境健康科学研究所 (NIEHS) 合作 和淡水生物医学科学中心以及该领域内的专业人员 威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校 (UWM) 教育学院将建立 与密尔沃基市的几所学校建立了合作关系。 这 长期目标是制定一项重要计划，以加强 中学学生的课程和教学质量 学校生命科学。 有两个主要推力。 第一个涉及 创建许多与生物医学相关的实验模块 课程内容旨在激发基于探究的 学习。 它们的核心是利用非哺乳动物生物体 教室。 通过交互式录像带/CD-ROM 提供丰富内容 使学生参与无法带入的主题的材料 他们的教室。 第二个重点是为在职教师提供 增加他们的知识、理解和能力的支持网络 进行实验室实验。 它还提供职前教师 培训机会，在生命科学领域打下坚实的基础。 这 具体目标是： A) 为教师提供一套完全开发的 强调现代生物医学实践的模块； B) 包围 带有利用信息技术的支持材料的模块； C）到 通过研讨会和会议为教师提供科学社区； D） 提高教师促进学生批判性思维的能力 学生; E）支持教师进行远程学习，包括互动 与科学家、教师以及课堂间的交流； F) 鼓励 女性和少数族裔对科学的兴趣和成功； G) 启动模型 加强职前教师生命科学教育的计划；和 H) 到 对这些目标的有效性进行全面评估。
