DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): A science and health curriculum using a video game as a centerpiece of instruction? Is it a risk? Or is it an effective way to reach and teach youth at risk for obesity? This proposal is to design, develop, and test a web-based discovery-oriented middle school science module, Creature Control: Food for Thought, that seamlessly integrates science and health content into a video game modality. The goal is to research the effectiveness of an inquiry-based curriculum using a culturally congruent, Internet based video game. This curriculum will address nutritional content related to how eating habits and other relevant behaviors affect obesity in adolescents. Concepts surrounding digestive system structure and function as well as the role of metabolism will frame the curriculum. Playing the video game will deliver inquiry-based learning experiences using content that aligns with National Science Education Standards (National Academy of Sciences, 1996) and the National Health Education Standards (American Association for Health Education, 1995). The curriculum will include teacher support materials consisting of a manual complete with research-based lesson plans, assessments, and supplemental materials to equip the teacher with the pedagogical knowledge and resources needed to implement the module into their existing plan of study.

描述（由申请人提供）：一门以电子游戏为核心的科学与健康课程？这有风险吗？或者这是一种有效的方式来接触和教育有肥胖风险的年轻人？本提案旨在设计、开发和测试一个基于网络的、以发现为导向的中学科学模块——《生物控制：思想的食粮》，该模块将科学和健康内容无缝地整合到电子游戏中。我们的目标是研究一个基于探究的课程使用一个文化一致的，基于网络的视频游戏的有效性。本课程将讨论与饮食习惯和其他相关行为如何影响青少年肥胖有关的营养成分。围绕消化系统的结构和功能以及新陈代谢的作用的概念将构成课程的框架。玩视频游戏将提供基于探究的学习体验，使用符合国家科学教育标准（国家科学院，1996年）和国家健康教育标准（美国健康教育协会，1995年）的内容。该课程将包括教师支持材料，包括一本手册，其中包括基于研究的课程计划，评估和补充材料，以使教师具备将该模块应用于现有学习计划所需的教学知识和资源。
