Track 1, GK-12: Engineering as a Contextual Vehicle for Science and Mathematics Education

该提案描述了由德雷克塞尔大学开发的题为“GK-12：工程作为科学和数学教育的背景工具”的第一轨项目，该项目将形成费城学区研究生(GK-12研究员)和中学教师(GK-12教师)教育团队之间的合作，以确定和设计基于工程/技术的支持性课堂材料。这些材料将作为情境载体，通过它们向中学生展示基本的科学和数学概念。

This proposal describes a Track 1 project developed by Drexel University entitled, "GK-12: Engineering as a Contextual Vehicle for Science and Mathematics Education", that will form a collaboration between education teams of graduate students (GK-12 Fellows) and middle school teachers from the School District of Philadelphia (GK-12 Teachers) to identify and design engineering/technology based supportive classroom materials. These materials will serve as contextual vehicles through which the presentation of fundamental scientific and mathematical concepts to middle school students will be enhanced.
