描述(由申请人提供)： 我们的第二阶段目标是向更广泛的受众传播一门通过流行病学科学探索与学生相关的健康相关问题的课程。它被称为教室里的侦探(侦探)。 这将通过以下方式实现： -继续倡导和培养中学科学教师教授侦探，同时也倡导和培养更广泛的年级(高中)和学科(数学和卫生)的教师。 -倡导和准备教师在其他教育场所教授侦探：课后和周末计划、夏季增强营和讲习班，以及去科学中心和博物馆旅行。 -建立调查发展小组，由一名流行病学家和一名经验丰富的 侦探教师，更新和创建新的侦探调查，并在此过程中发展更广泛的侦探利益攸关方基础。 -更新、扩展、评估和修订侦探网站。 -继续评估和宣传侦探在提高学生对科学的兴趣、探究等基本科学能力、科学素养和流行病学知识方面的有效性。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Our Phase II goal is to disseminate, to a wider audience, a curriculum that explores health-related issues relevant to students through the science of epidemiology. It is called Detectives in the Classroom (Detectives). This will be accomplished by: - Continuing to advocate for and prepare middle school science teachers to teach Detectives, while also advocating for and preparing teachers in a wider range of grades (high school) and disciplines (mathematics and health). - Advocating for and preparing teachers to teach Detectives in alternative educational venues: after-school and weekend programs, summer enrichment camps and workshops, and trips to science centers and museums. - Establishing Investigation Development Teams, consisting of an epidemiologist and an experienced Detectives teacher, to update and create new Detectives' investigations and, in the process, developing a broader base of Detective stakeholders. - Updating, expanding, evaluating, and revising the Detectives' web site. - Continuing to evaluate and publicize the effectiveness of Detectives in increasing students interest in science, fundamental abilities in science as inquiry, scientific literacy, and knowledge of epidemiology.
