Young Scholars Ocean Science Institute

位于长滩的加州州立大学科学与数学教育研究所提议，确定并挑选30名进入9-10年级的高能力青少年，让他们参与一个由两部分组成的海洋科学项目。在该计划中，海洋科学是解决所有科学和工程选择方面的工具。第一阶段提供3周半的居住在CSULB校园，随后在卡塔利娜岛进行为期3天的实地考察。在夏季，学生们还将学习科学是如何运作的，并在一个研究项目中达到高潮，该项目将持续到下一个学年。这一阶段的一个关键特点是让每个学生站在一位科学家或工程师的身边，至少花一天时间“跟随这位科学家”。团队教学涉及来自大学、工业界和jr /Sr的科学家。将使用高中教师。在下一学年的后续阶段，学生们在一个提供各种支持服务的网络中继续他们的研究。六个周六的后续会议继续探索各种各样的科学和工程可能性，并培养他们继续研究。

The Science and Mathematics Education Institute of California State University, Long Beach proposes to identify and select 30 high-ability youngsters entering grades 9-10 and involve them in a 2-part program focusing on ocean science. In the program, ocean science serves as a vehicle for addressing all the sciences and selected aspects of engineering. Phase I provides 3 1/2 weeks in residence on the CSULB campus, followed by a 3-day field excursion on Catalina Island. During the summer, students will also study how science operates, culminating in a research project which continues into the subsequent school year. A key feature of this phase places each student at the side of a working scientist or engineer, to devote at least one day "shadowing the scientist". Team teaching involving scientists from the university, industry and Jr./Sr. High School teachers will be used. In the follow-up phase during the subsequent school year, students continue their research within a network which provides a variety of support services. Six Saturday follow-up sessions continue their exploration of a broad variety of science and engineering possibilities, as well as nurture their continuing research.
