To achieve a healthy society, America needs both highly trained health professionals and a science-literate public. The development of both begins during K-12 education. Within the NIH, the SEPA program provides the principal means to influence pre-college science education. Our application builds on current infrastructure, which provides ca. 1700 high school students per year, many of them from underrepresented groups, with authentic scientific experiences based on experiment modules that utilize live organisms as biomedical models. Students investigate the impacts of environmental/life-style chemicals on fundamental biological processes. In the process, ca. 20 pre-service teachers per year learn to teach with an inquiry-based approach. Moving forward, the proposed SEPA program will i) engage in-service and pre-service teachers and students with an in-depth introduction to the scientific method and its components that is closely linked to the conduct of the experiment modules. A major focus will involve analytical applications of data science that emerge after aggregating large amounts of data submitted by students to a computational portal and data repository. Complementing this novel emphasis, ii) student experimentation will be placed within a context of science and society, called environmental health civics – a history of environmental chemicals in relation to governmental regulation and chemical toxicity research. Attention will be directed toward environmental justice, particularly issues which effect Milwaukee youth, including lead (Pb) poisoning, through the use of a powerful on-line environmental health mapping program from the EPA. Experiment modules and special student conferences will further develop this area. Both i) and ii) will be fully aligned with the Next Generation Science Standards. In addition, we will iii) provide new ways for early career teachers to implement our program as they transition from pre-service status to mature in-service teachers. Finally, iv) we will transfer our program to an on-line format and partner with other institutions to expand the reach of our pre-service teacher program. Content goals will be merged with our objective to offer large numbers of minority and economically disadvantaged students research experiences with our modules. Our Specific Aims are to 1. Introduce in-service and early career teachers to the principles of data and data science in relation to our environmental health experiment modules. 2. Collaborate with the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, UW-Stevens Point and Carthage College science teacher education programs to certify 100 pre-service teachers in the principles and practice of scientific experimentation and communication. 3. Provide 8,500 high school students with a) experiences in doing data and data science- focused scientific research, and b) an understanding of the importance of chemical toxicology, including a focus on environmental justice. 4. Work with the Milwaukee Public School System and other regional schools to provide large numbers of low income and underrepresented minority students with research experiences. 5. Develop a robust on-line version of our program. 6. Conduct a thorough evaluation of the entire project.

为了实现一个健康的社会，美国既需要训练有素的卫生专业人员， 公众两者的发展都始于K-12教育。在NIH内部，SEPA计划提供 影响大学预科科学教育的主要手段。我们的应用程序建立在当前的基础设施上， 其提供CA。每年有1700名高中生，其中许多人来自代表性不足的群体， 真实的科学经验的基础上的实验模块，利用活生物体作为生物医学模型。 学生调查环境/生活方式的化学物质对基本生物过程的影响。在 的过程，CA。每年有20名职前教师学习以探究式方法教学。向前看， 拟议的SEPA计划将i）让在职和职前教师和学生深入了解 介绍与实验密切相关的科学方法及其组成部分 模块。一个主要的焦点将涉及数据科学的分析应用，这些应用是在聚合了大量 学生提交给计算门户和数据存储库的大量数据。补充这本小说 强调，ii）学生实验将被放置在科学和社会的背景下，称为环境 健康公民学-环境化学品与政府法规和化学品毒性的关系史 research.注意力将集中在环境正义上，特别是影响密尔沃基的问题 青年，包括铅（Pb）中毒，通过使用一个强大的在线环境健康绘图 EPA的计划。实验单元和特别学生会议将进一步发展这一领域。 i）和ii）都将与下一代科学标准完全一致。此外，我们将提供（iii） 新的方式为早期职业教师实施我们的计划，因为他们从职前状态过渡到成熟 在职教师。最后，iv）我们将把我们的计划转移到在线格式，并与其他合作伙伴 机构扩大我们的职前教师计划的覆盖面。内容目标将与我们的 目的是提供大量的少数民族和经济困难的学生的研究经验， 我们的模块我们的具体目标是1。向在职和早期职业教师介绍以下原则： 与我们的环境健康实验模块相关的数据和数据科学。2.勾结 威斯康星大学密尔沃基分校、威斯康星大学史蒂文斯角分校和迦太基学院科学教师教育 对100名职前教师进行科学实验原理和实践认证的计划， 通信3.为8，500名高中生提供a）数据和数据科学方面的经验- 重点科学研究，和B）化学毒理学的重要性的理解，包括重点 关于环境正义。4.与密尔沃基公立学校系统和其他地区学校合作， 为大量低收入和代表性不足的少数民族学生提供研究经验。5. 开发一个强大的在线版本的我们的程序。6.对整个项目进行全面评估。
