该项目资助了一个为期两周的暑期讲习班，提供将危险材料问题纳入课程所需的科学背景和知识。该计划将包括讲座、讨论和实验室工作，以及实地考察一个石油设施、一个地热蒸气田、一个地区污水和水净化厂、一个空气和水质检测设施、一个农业试验站和一个回收厂。第一个夏天的工作坊将从旧金山湾区招聘30名生物学中学教师。在第二个暑假期间，30名中学生命和物理科学教师将有资格参加。在第三个暑假期间，加州中部的中学导师教师将被邀请参加。下一学年的活动将包括三个为期一天的讲习班和参观学员的教室。除了内容材料和大学教职员工和指导教师提供的支持外，还将编制适当的课程材料。

This project funds a two-week summer workshop providing scientific background and knowledge needed to integrate into the curriculum issues relating to hazardous materials. The program will consist of lectures, discussions, and laboratory work, as well as field trips to a petroleum facility, a geothermal steam field, a regional sewage and water purification plant, an air and water quality testing facility, an agricultural experimental station, and a recycling plant. The workshop during the first summer will recruit 30 secondary teachers of biology from the San Francisco Bay area. During the second summer, 30 secondary life and physical science teachers will be eligible to attend. During the third summer secondary Mentor Teachers from throughout Central California will be invited to attend. The activities during the subsequent academic year will consist of three one-day workshops and visits to the classrooms of the individual participants. In addition to the content material and the support provided by the university faculty and mentor teachers, appropriate curriculum materials will be developed.
