DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long term objective of this research is to design and field test a science-enriched elementary PE curriculum to increase students' knowledge and interest in health-related science. Minority students in urban public schools often do not acquire essential academic skills necessary to pursue science careers. Although interest in science may develop during adolescence, by middle or high school many students are academically so deficient they are unable to master technical knowledge essential for success. Stimulating students' interests in science, reading, and mathematics early in their schooling is critical to achievement. Many health-related scientific principles most relevant to young children involve concrete responses they can examine and understand. One salient set of principles explains the positive benefits of physical activity on health and well-being. Recent public health reports indicate that physical inactivity is a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease. PE can provide an exciting, active laboratory to examine health-related science concepts and principles. Specific project objectives are:1. To determine if a science-enriched curriculum taught in PE can increase 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students' knowledge of health-related science. Kinesiology or the scientific study of human movement is the disciplinary knowledge base for PE. PE programs reflecting a kinesiological focus communicate scientific knowledge about health-related benefits of physical activity to students. We hypothesize that kinesiological or science-enriched PE curricula can create an environment that increases students' knowledge of the body systems' responses to physical activity in a stimulating, enjoyable, and academically engaging atmosphere.2. To determine if students' interactions with scientists increase their understanding of scientist's work, the scientific inquiry process, and their interest in science. While Objective #1 emphasizes the kinesiological knowledge base that will make PE an extension of the science Classroom and a viable science partner, Objective #2 examines the contributions that kinesiological scientists can make to students' understanding of the scientific process and interest in science. We hypothesize that students' interactions with distinguished NIH-funded scientists will contribute to a broader picture of the scientific enterprise and the value that students' place on scientific knowledge. Scientists will visit elementary schools and participate with students in experiments as part of the problem-solving, science-enriched PE curriculum. Students from three schools will be invited to the scientists' laboratories to participate in meaningful experiments to enhance their understanding of scientists' work, the inquiry process, and their interest in science.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项研究的长期目标是设计和现场测试富含科学的基础PE课程，以增加学生对与健康相关科学的了解和兴趣。 城市公立学校的少数民族学生通常不会获得从事科学职业所需的基本学术技能。 尽管对科学的兴趣可能会在青春期发展，但在中学或高中，许多学生在学术上是如此不足，因此无法掌握成功的技术知识。 刺激学生在学业初期对科学，阅读和数学的兴趣对成就至关重要。 与幼儿最相关的许多与健康相关的科学原则都涉及他们可以检查和理解的具体反应。 一组显着的原则解释了体育活动对健康和福祉的积极好处。 最近的公共卫生报告表明，身体不活跃是冠心病的主要危险因素。 PE可以提供一个令人兴奋的活跃实验室来检查与健康相关的科学概念和原理。 特定的项目目标是：1。为了确定在PE中教授的富含科学的课程是否可以增加3年级，四年级和5年级学生对健康相关科学的了解。运动学或人类运动的科学研究是PE的学科知识基础。 反映运动学重点的PE计划传达了有关身体活动与健康相关的好处的科学知识。 我们假设运动学或富含科学的PE课程可以创造一个环境，从而在刺激性，愉悦和学术上吸引人的氛围中对学生对身体系统的了解”对体育活动的反应。2。确定学生与科学家的互动是否增加了他们对科学家工作的理解，科学的探究过程以及他们对科学的兴趣。 虽然目标＃1强调了运动学知识基础，这将使PE扩展科学课堂和可行的科学伙伴，但目标＃2研究了运动学科学家可以对学生对科学过程和对科学兴趣的理解做出的贡献。 我们假设学生与杰出的NIH资助科学家的互动将为科学企业和学生在科学知识上所处的价值提供更广泛的了解。 科学家将参观小学，并与学生一起参加实验，这是解决问题，富含科学的PE课程的一部分。 来自三所学校的学生将邀请科学家的实验室参加有意义的实验，以增强他们对科学家工作，探究过程及其对科学的兴趣的理解。
