Preparing to Teach Science Concepts in Middle School Using Inexpensive Laboratory Equipment

跨学科(99)这个项目是根据广泛使用的课本和实验室手册改编的，现有的基于探究的、经过实地测试的实验室练习是为物理、生物和化学的入门或一般教育课程开发的。正在对练习进行修改，以便可以使用专门为中学设计的实验室设备进行练习。所有的实验练习都使用相同的基本核心设备，这样学生就可以专注于探究，而不是学习如何使用多台高度专业化的设备。修改后的实验练习将通过出版和网上传播的方式向其他用户提供。

Interdisciplinary (99) This project is adapting from widely used texts and laboratory manuals existing inquiry-based, field-tested laboratory exercises developed for introductory or general education courses in physics, biology, and chemistry. Exercises are being modified so that they can be performed using laboratory equipment specifically designed for middle school use. All lab exercises are utilizing the same basic core equipment, so that students can concentrate on the inquiry and not on learning how to use multiple pieces of highly specialized equipment. The modified lab exercises will be made available for other users, though publication and web-based dissemination.
