Project Summary This project – Tomorrow’s Science Today: preparing for the next pandemic – will create a professional development experience for high school science teachers focused on infectious diseases and the molecular technologies that are being used to control them. The project consists of two distinct phases. In the first, we will create a variety of hands-on instructional materials – composed of both foam-based schematic models and accurate 3D-printed models of proteins – to bring to life molecular stories of the process of science. We will use a framework that emphasizes how the foundational concepts of molecular biology established in the past (Yesterday’s Science) provides the basis for the amazing technology that has been brought to bear on the current SARS-Cov-2 pandemic (Today’s Science) and also lays the ground-work for even more powerful defenses in the future (Tomorrow’s Science). In the second phase of this project, we will create a professional learning experience in which the project’s instructional materials will be introduced to high school science teachers. The project’s goals are (i) to increase the teachers’ content knowledge regarding the molecular mechanisms of infectious diseases and (ii) to model for the teachers a student-centered active learning pedagogy that values questions over answers. The project features a formal teacher empowerment program in which a small group of veteran teachers are trained to serve as mentors for teachers who are new to the project. High school biology and chemistry teachers will be recruited into this project via presentations and exhibits at state, regional and national meetings of science educators. A plan is in place to proactively accept teachers from schools with a significant population of underserved minority students. And finally, the broad dissemination of the project’s instructional materials will be achieved through our established partnerships with other science outreach organizations whose programs focus on URM students in urban Milwaukee, Chicago and rural Nebraska and South Dakota.

项目摘要 这个项目--明天的今日科学：为下一次大流行做准备--将创造一个专业的 关注传染病和传染病的高中理科教师的发展经验 被用来控制它们的分子技术。该项目包括两个截然不同的阶段。 首先，我们将创建各种实践教学材料-由泡沫塑料和泡沫塑料组成 蛋白质的示意图模型和精确的3D打印模型-使蛋白质的分子故事栩栩如生 科学的过程。我们将使用一个框架，该框架强调 过去建立的分子生物学(昨天的科学)提供了令人惊叹的基础 应对当前SARS-CoV-2大流行的技术(今日科学)和 也为未来更强大的防御奠定了基础(明天的科学)。 在这个项目的第二阶段，我们将创造一个专业的学习体验，在其中 该项目的教材将介绍给高中理科教师。该项目的目标 是(I)增加教师关于传染病分子机制的内容知识 (2)为教师树立以学生为中心的积极学习教学法 问题重于答案。该项目以一个正式的教师赋权计划为特色，在该计划中，一个小的 一群经验丰富的教师接受了培训，为新加入该项目的教师提供指导。 高中生物和化学教师将被招募到这个项目中，通过演讲和 在国家、地区和国家科学教育工作者会议上展出。一项计划已经到位，以积极主动地 接受来自少数族裔学生人数众多的学校的教师。和 最后，该项目的教学材料将通过我们的 与其他科学推广组织建立伙伴关系，这些组织的计划侧重于URM 密尔沃基、芝加哥、内布拉斯加州和南达科他州农村的学生。
