Princeton Earth Physics Project

Nolet PEPP的目标是在全国的高中和大学安装一系列地震仪，建立一个计算机网络来共享地震数据和信息，围绕地震数据分析开发一系列地球科学和物理课程模块，并形成一个由IRIS（地震学联合研究机构）的支持成员组成的网络。一个由80多所大学组成的由nsf支持的联盟（见附录A）来培训和支持科学教师。该项目的主要目标是：-开发用于高中和大学的“动手”地震数据采集设备，以增加学生对解释自然的好奇心；-通过地震学的连接实验室实验增加对地球科学和物理概念的理解，同时培养对地震仪作为使用这些概念的工具的熟悉感；-支持教师与学生进行真正的“课堂科学”，并为教师与学生进行这些活动提供科学支持；-促进地球科学和物理教师与地球物理研究人员之间的互动；-通过提供课程材料、计算机网络和研究机会，为教师提供组织和智力支持；-在全国范围内传播PEPP，并建立一个独特的地震阵列，使学生和教师能够在互联网上共享数据并做出真正的发现；-促进仪器设计的发展，改进该项目中使用的传感器。PEPP植根于最近的发展，这些发展彻底改变了观测地震学。目前，美国地质勘探局正在全国范围内以及全球范围内安装新的高质量数字地震仪网络。IRIS是一个由美国地震机构组成的联盟（主要是学术机构），它是建立一个全球网络的幕后推手。在美国，学校网络是对此的补充。它不仅提供了课堂上使用的真实数据，而且具有独特的科学潜力，因为它提供了纯专业资源永远无法获得的站点密度。在项目的最后阶段，将为教师举办研究讲习班，其中将使用这些数据。该项目将使中学科学教师能够承担长期的、网络化的地震监测，这将有助于地震学研究，同时通过注入教师主导、学生为本的科学研究来支持科学教育的改革。通过将这项科学研究定位在学校，参与者将有助于将学校的科学教学转向更以项目为导向、以探究为基础的范式。

9355805 Nolet PEPP aims to install an array of seismographs in high schools and colleges nationwide, to create a computer network to share seismological data and information, to develop a series of Earth science and physics curriculum modules around analysis of seismological data, and to form a network of supporting members of IRIS (Incorporated Research Institutions for Seismology, an NSF-supported consortium of more than 80 universities - see Appendix A) to train and support science teachers. The main goals of the project are: - The develop "hands on" seismological data acquisition equipment for use at high schools and colleges, to increase the curiosity of students to explain nature, - To increase the understanding of Earth science and physics concepts through connected lab experiments in seismology, while developing a sense of familiarity with the seismometer as an instrument for using these concepts, - To support teachers to do real "classroom science" with their students and provide scientific back-up for teachers as they undertake these activities with their students, - To stimulate interaction between teachers in Earth sciences and physics with researchers in geophysics, - To give teachers organizational and intellectual support by providing curriculum materials, computer networking as well as research opportunities, - To disseminate PEPP nationally and build a unique seismological array that allows students and teachers to share data over Internet and to make real discoveries, - To stimulate developments in instrument design that improves the sensor to be used in this project. PEPP is rooted in the recent developments that have revolutionized observational seismology. New networks of high quality, digital seismographs are being installed right now, both on a national scale by the USGS, as well as on a worldwide scale. IRIS, a consortium of (mostly academic) seismological institutions in the US is the driving force behind the installation of a worldwide network. The school network supplements this in the US. It not only provides real data for use in the classroom - it has unique scientific potential because it provides a station density that could never be obtained using purely professional resources. In the final stage of the project, research workshops for teachers will be developed in which the data are used. This project will enable secondary science teachers to undertake long-term, networked seismic monitoring that will contribute seismology research while supporting the reform of science education through the infusion of teacher-led, student-based scientific research. By locating this scientific research in schools, participants will help shift science instruction in their schools toward a more project- oriented, inquiry-based paradigm.
