ZOOM

9614743沙利文WGBH教育基金会正在为8至11岁的儿童制作每天半小时的电视连续剧《祖姆》第一季。《祖姆》是根据1970年大获成功的同名电视剧《S》改编的，由七名儿童组成，他们参与活动，并研究观看该节目的年轻人提出的想法。新的Zoom将提高教育集中度，强调科学和数学活动和项目，并开展全面的外联活动。该系列的一个主要重点将是培养“思维习惯”，促进以多种方式思考相同的想法和证据的能力；收集、组织和识别数据中的模式；确定可以通过科学调查回答的问题；以及发展估计、判断和数据素养的技能。第一季将有三个以科学和数学为基础的主题：结构、事物和生物。每个项目将包括两到三个科学和数学部分，以及鼓励在家中尝试这些活动。时不时的，演员们会给观众一个“挑战”，让他们在家中进行一项活动，并将结果发送到稍后的节目中展示。实地制作的片段将以孩子们参与他们认为特别吸引人的科学或数学项目为特色，这些项目是他们自己完成的。该系列还将在一季的过程中重新审视项目或“挑战”，以证明科学是一项持续、不断发展的努力，新信息可能会改变旧的假设。Zoom外联活动将包括教育工作者Zoom科学指南、一个万维网网站、博物馆Zoom房间、与三个致力于服务不足儿童的国家组织的社区伙伴关系。此外，每一位写信、拨打800电话或发送电子邮件的观众都将收到一份免费的四页新闻稿，其中包含完成该系列活动所需的说明，以及应对演员向观众发出的挑战S的说明。凯特·泰勒将担任该项目的执行制片人。她一直是《卡门·桑迪亚哥在哪里》的联合执行制片人。还有德格拉西初中。科学和数学主任将由TERC的高级项目主任坎迪斯·朱利安担任。外展主任将由Beth Kirsch担任，她负责监督WGBH全国外展运动的发展和实施。工作人员将与一批在科学和数学、非正式科学、外联和评估等领域具有专业知识的顾问和顾问密切合作。

9614743 Sullivan WGBH Educational Foundation is producing Season I of Zoom, a daily half-hour television series for children aged 8 to 11. Zoom, which is based on the highly successful 1970's series of the same name, features a cast of seven children who engage in activities and examine ideas submitted by youth who watch the show. The new Zoom will have an enhanced educational concentration, an emphasis on science and math activities and projects, and a comprehensive outreach campaign. A major focus of the series will be to develop "Habits of Mind" which promote the capacity to think about the same ideas and evidence in multiple ways; collect, organize, and recognize patterns in data; identify questions that can be answered through scientific investigations; and develop skills of estimation, judgment, and data literacy. Season I will have three over-arching science and math-based themes: Structures, Things That Go, and Living Things. Each program will include two or three science and math segments, as well as encouragement to try these activities at home. From time to time, the cast will provide a "challenge" for viewers by asking them to conduct an activity as home and send in their results for presentation on a later show. Field-produced segments will feature children engaged in science or math projects that they have found particularly fascinating and have done on their own. The series also will revisit projects or "challenges" over the course of a season to demonstrate that science is an on-going, evolving endeavor and that new information may change old assumptions. Zoom outreach activities will include a Zoom science guide for educators, a World Wide Web Site, museum Zoom rooms, community partnerships with three national organizations that work with underserved children. In addition, every viewer who writes, calls an 800 number, or sends an e-mail will receive a free four-page newsletter with directions needed to complete activities from the series and to tackle challenge s that the cast issues to the audience. Kate Taylor will be Executive Producer for the project. She has been co-executive producer for Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego? and for Degrassi Junior High. The Science and Math Director will be Candace Julyan, Senior Project Director at TERC. The Director of Outreach will be Beth Kirsch who oversees the development and implementation of national outreach campaigns for WGBH. The staff will work closely with a group of consultants and advisors with expertise in such areas as science and mathematics, informal science, outreach, and evaluation.
