Project FIRST TWO Field Involvement: Research by Science Teachers Teams/Water/Ozone

小行星9355557 这是一个为期五年的项目，使来自威斯康星州的100名教师能够学习和参与科学研究。 计划是让教师参与至少五天的工作人员发展活动，然后积极参与长达30天的实践科学研究。 这项研究将（a）在具体选定的科学家的指导下以个人为基础，或（B）在一个团队内，或（c）两者兼而有之。 该小组的项目将是：（a）利用生物指数对水质进行检查;（B）旨在有效利用乳草作为臭氧污染指标的试验。 这两个团队项目将与威斯康星州自然资源部合作。 该项目的目标包括：（1）通过使选定的教师具有科学研究经验来改进科学教学;（2）与科学家建立伙伴关系，以进行持续的指导;（3）进行有价值的研究;（4）为选定的教师提供在当地担任研究项目研究助理的机会。 该项目的基础是现场参与：科学教师研究（FIRST），这是一个NSF资助的项目。 这项建议得益于从FIRST中学到的经验教训，它在教师中创造的专业知识，以及变得明显的弱点。 该项目还受益于从地球科学资源协会（ESRA）获得的经验，特别是在领导力，教学法和网络组件方面，ESRA是威斯康星州学院目前由NSF资助的项目。 该项目要求NSF提供743，745美元，机构/代理和学区提供国家科学基金会部分费用分摊的172，841%（这不包括学区提供的杂项用品，空间，电话）。

9355557 Lake This is a five-year project to enable 100 teachers from Wisconsin to learn and be involved in scientific research. The plan is to have teachers involved in staff development activities of at least five days and then to actively been involved in up to 30 days of hands-on scientific research. This research will be (a) on an individual basis under the mentorship of specifically selected scientists, or (b) within a team, or (c) both. The team projects will be (a) an examination of water quality using biotic indexing, and (b) trails aimed at the effective use of milkweed as an indicator of ozone pollution. Both team projects will be in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources. The project's goals include (1) improvement of the teaching of science by enabling selected teachers to become experienced in scientific research, (2) formation of partnerships with scientists for on-going mentorship, (3) performance of valuable studies and (4) providing selected with the local opportunity to be research assistants in a research project. The project has its foundations in Field Involvement: Research by Science Teachers (FIRST), an NSF-funded program. This proposal benefits from the lessons learned from FIRST, the expertise it created amongst teachers, and the weaknesses that became apparent. The project also benefits from the experience gained, especially in terms of the leadership, pedagogy, and networking components, from Earth Science Resource Associates (ESRA), a currently NSF-funded project of the Wisconsin Academy. The project requested $743,745 from NSF with institutions/Agencies and school districts providing $172,841% of the National Science Foundation portion in cost sharing (this does not include miscellaneous supplies, space, phone, contributed by school districts).
