项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The proposed program, "Biology-Environmental Health Science Nexus: Inquiry, Content, and Communication," focuses on the high school General Science and Biology teachers and students in metropolitan Milwaukee, particularly minority students in the Milwaukee Public School District. Our general objective is to develop the skills of inquiry in teachers and students as the basis for doing and understanding science, particularly in relation to life science and environmental health. This goal takes form in science content recommended by the National Science Education Standards in the areas of genetics, cellular properties, and organismic behavior. These areas are enriched by strong links to environmental health issues of importance to students, including exposure to lead, alcohol, and UV radiation and conditions such as asthma. A series of fully developed and supported experiment modules will be created that can be used to teach ninth grade General Science and tenth grade Biology content. Each involves the use of aquatic organisms as biomedical models and some include macromolecular models and molecular biology experimentation. The Modules set in motion activities that together provide teachers and students with multiple encounters with authentic scientific inquiry. Integrated with the modules in two science courses are student communication about the experiments within and between classes, writing and publishing research communications and reports, and participation in an annual research conference. Teachers gain professional development through workshops, yearly scientific and educational support, evaluation activities and feed-back, and doing program activities that enhance their abilities as scientists and science mentors for their students. In order to accomplish our objective, we have the following specific aims for students: 1. To adapt current middle school Life Science experiment modules for high school General Science. 2. To develop and implement experiment modules for high school Biology that relate to current modules used in middle school Life Science (aim 1) and combine curricular content with environmental health relevance. 3. To develop students' scientific communication skills through written research reports, inter-class internet discussion of results and interpretations, and through convening a yearly student research conference. 4. To engage students (boys and girls) of color from various socioeconomic and ethnic backgrounds. For teachers to accomplish these aims, other program goals are: 5. To offer yearly summer workshops for teacher professional development (General Science and Biology workshops) in science inquiry, based on the experiment modules. 6. To link teachers with student teachers who have studied the modules in a UW-Milwaukee College of Education course on scientific inquiry. 7. To provide teachers with robust scientific and educational support for the introduction of experiment modules and communication activities into their courses. 8. To include a vigorous national dissemination component to the program. 9. To conduct probing, thorough evaluation of the proposed program and its elements that includes formative and summative evaluation. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE (provided by applicant): The proposed project aims to increase the number of students with effective life science literacy and some with ambitions to undertake biomedical careers. We focus our program on the heart of science, namely inquiry and do so in relation to important elements of life science content as well as students' and society's wider interests in the environment and health. Together, they provide the intellectual base needed to be scientifically active and the connections to everyday world that stimulate student excitement about scientific knowledge and inquiry.

描述(由申请者提供)：该计划名为“生物学-环境健康科学联系：研究、内容和交流”，重点关注密尔沃基市高中普通科学和生物学教师和学生，特别是密尔沃基公立学区的少数族裔学生。我们的总体目标是发展教师和学生的探究技能，作为从事和理解科学的基础，特别是与生命科学和环境健康有关的科学。这一目标体现在国家科学教育标准推荐的遗传学、细胞特性和有机体行为领域的科学内容中。这些领域丰富了与对学生重要的环境健康问题的密切联系，包括暴露在铅、酒精和紫外线辐射以及哮喘等条件下。将创建一系列完全开发和支持的实验模块，可用于教授九年级普通科学和十年级生物内容。每一个都涉及使用水生生物作为生物医学模型，还有一些包括大分子模型和分子生物学实验。这些模块启动了活动，共同为教师和学生提供了真实的科学探究的多次接触。与两门理科课程的模块相结合的是，学生在课内和课间就实验进行交流，撰写和发布研究交流和报告，以及参加年度研究会议。教师通过研讨会、年度科学和教育支持、评估活动和反馈，以及开展项目活动来提高他们作为科学家和学生科学导师的能力，从而获得专业发展。为了实现我们的目标，我们有以下针对学生的具体目标：1.将现有的中学生命科学实验模块适应于高中普通科学实验。2.开发和实施与中学生命科学(目标1)现有模块相关的高中生物实验模块，并将课程内容与环境健康相关结合起来。3.通过书面研究报告、班级间网上讨论结果和解释，以及召开年度学生研究会议，培养学生的科学交流技能。4.吸引来自不同社会经济和种族背景的有色人种学生(男孩和女孩)。为了实现这些目标，教师的其他计划目标是：5.以实验模块为基础，每年举办科学探究教师专业发展暑期工作坊(普通科学和生物工作坊)。6.将教师与学习过密尔沃基大学-密尔沃基教育学院科学探究课程模块的实习教师联系起来。7.为教师在课程中引入实验单元和交流活动提供强有力的科学和教育支持。8.在该方案中纳入强有力的国家传播部分。9.对拟议方案及其要素进行探索性、透彻的评价，包括形成性评价和终结性评价。公共卫生相关性(由申请者提供)：拟议的项目旨在增加具有有效生命科学素养的学生数量，以及一些有从事生物医学事业的雄心壮志的学生。我们专注于科学的核心，即探究，并与生命科学内容的重要元素以及学生和社会对环境和健康的更广泛兴趣有关。它们共同提供了从事科学活动所需的智力基础，以及与日常世界的联系，激发了学生对科学知识和探究的兴奋。
