Chemistry and Physics Fundamentals for Middle School Minority Teachers or Teachers of Minority Students

中学少数民族教师或少数民族学生教师的竞技场化学和物理基础本项目为期两年，针对40名6-9年级的少数民族教师，将在两年的时间内提供两次为期三周的化学和物理基础讲习班。该项目于1995年开始。它还将在两个学年中每年提供5次星期六专题会议。在研讨会期间，教师将：提高他们对化学和物理的概念知识；学习如何将化学和物理的适当主题与其他科学和数学以及科学和技术问题相结合；提高科学教学课堂活动的开发和呈现能力；开发中学物理教学新教材和新策略更加熟悉可供中学物理教师使用的大量原始材料；讲习班的其他目标是：发展南加州地区的初中和高中教师网络，以提供持续的相互支持和帮助；鼓励教师开展社区外展活动，并为他们提供进行这些活动所需的科学演示和用品。教师还将有机会在相关的化学/物理营中与中学生一起实践新获得的教学策略和演示。该项目的成本份额是基金会支持票面价值的5%。

Abstract 9355559 Arena Chemistry and Physics Fundamentals for Middle School Minority Teachers or Teachers of Minority Students This two year project for 40 teachers of minorities in grades 6-9 will provide two three week workshops over two years to cover the fundamentals of chemistry and physics. The project begins in 1995. It would also provide for 5 Saturday topical conferences in each of the two academic years. During the workshops the teachers will: improve their conceptual knowledge of their chemistry and physics; learn how to integrate appropriate topics in chemistry and physics with the other sciences and mathematics and with science and technology issues; become more proficient in the development and presentation of classroom activities for science instruction; develop new teaching materials and strategies for teaching the physical sciences in middle schools; become more familiar with the vast array of source materials available for teachers of middle school physical science; Additional goals of the workshops are to: develop networks of middle school and high school teachers within the Southern California region to provide on-going mutual support and assistance; encourage teachers to pursue outreach activities to the community and to furnish them with the science demonstrations and supplies necessary to perform these activities. The teachers will also have an opportunity to practice newly acquired teaching strategies and demonstrations with the middle school students in an associated Chemistry/Physics Camp. The cost share of the project is 5% of the face value of Foundation support.
