DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The following educational research proposal is a request of up to $250,000 per year for 5 years to investigate the impact of the FoodMASTER (Food, Math, and Science Teaching Enhancement Resource) initiative approach on middle grade science and mathematics learning environments. The FoodMASTER initiative is a compilation of programs aimed at using food as a tool to teach basic research, science, and math concepts to K-12 students. The proposed research project focuses on developing science and mathematics resource materials for middle grades teachers, providing a summer science experience for middle grade students, and training middle grade teachers and faculty in using the NIH SEPA FoodMASTER approach. This project will impact science learning environments for middle graders by creating curricula and implementing programming that will provide base-line data about how the FoodMASTER approach can prepare students to understand the nature and behavior of living systems and the application of knowledge to extend healthy life.

描述（由申请人提供）：以下教育研究建议是一个高达$250，000每年5年的要求，以调查的影响FoodMASTER（食品，数学和科学教学增强资源）倡议的方法对中年级科学和数学学习环境。FoodMASTER计划是一系列旨在利用食物作为工具向K-12学生教授基础研究，科学和数学概念的计划。拟议的研究项目的重点是开发科学和数学资源材料的中年级教师，为中年级学生提供暑期科学经验，并培训中年级教师和教师使用NIH SEPA FoodMASTER方法。该项目将通过创建课程和实施编程来影响中年级学生的科学学习环境，这些课程和编程将提供有关FoodMASTER方法如何帮助学生了解生命系统的性质和行为以及知识的应用以延长健康生活的基本数据。
