Visualization in Earth and Ocean Sciences: Exploring the Use of Immersive Visualization Technology in Informal Science Education

地球和海洋科学中的可视化：探索沉浸式可视化技术在非正式科学教育中的应用这个项目正在探索如何将尖端的可视化技术，大型数据库和当前的科学研究相结合，为互动科学中心创建公共和学校项目。一个主要研究机构和一个公共推广组织之间的原型合作正在加州圣地亚哥大学斯克里普斯海洋学研究所和桦树水族馆进行。该项目开发的图像、影片和活动可通过地球系统教育数字图书馆（a href=“http：//www.dlese.org/' target="_blank“DLESE/a）获得。 教学单元旨在支持教师和学生努力掌握国家和加州科学标准中阐述的内容和实践，其主题包括：* 构造板块边界的结构和动力学：从空间看变形;* 全球地震活动：为什么、在哪里和如何发生;* 地球的结构;* 地球的海洋：水深测量、水文地理学和海洋与气候的联系;* 地球的海洋：海洋的结构和结构;* 地球的海洋：海洋的结构和结构;* 地球的海洋：海洋的结构和结构;* 地球的海洋结构和结构。* 数据处理和演示：区分证据和解释;* 行星际研究：地球、月球和火星的比较。对于在斯克里普斯和伯奇地点的装置，进行参观前和参观后对概念和内容的理解，以支持项目的形成性和总结性评估。还在学生试点方案教室和教师学院参与的教师中进行评估。

Visualization in Earth and Ocean Sciences:Exploring the use of Immersive Visualization Technology in Informal Science EducationThis project is exploring ways to combine cutting edge visualization technology, large-scale databases, and current scientific research to create public and school programs for interactive science centers. The prototype collaboration between a leading research institution and a public outreach organization is being carried out at the University of California San Diego's Scripps Insitution of Oceanography and the Birch Aquarium.Images, movies, and activities developed by this project are available through the Digital Library for Earth System Education (a href="http://www.dlese.org/' target="_blank"DLESE/a). Teaching modules, designed to support teacher and student efforts to achieve mastery of the content and practice articulated in the National and California science standards, are based on topics such as:* The structure and dynamics of tectonic plate boundaries: deformation as seen from space;* Global seismicity: why, where and how;* The structure of the Earth;* The Earth's oceans: bathymetry, hydrography, and the ocean-climate connection;* Data manipulation and presentation: distinguishing between evidence and explanation; and* Interplanetary studies: a comparison of Earth, the Moon, and Mars.For the installation at the Scripps and Birch locations, pre- and post-visit understanding of the concepts and content are carried out in order to support formative and summative evaluation of the project. Evaluations are also being carried out in student pilot program classrooms and with teachers involved in the Teacher Institutes.
