Exploiting laboratory experiments in the teaching of Meteorology, Oceanography and Climate: Phase II

大气科学(41)这一第二阶段CCLI项目建立在第一阶段试点研究的基础上，该阶段开发了课程材料和设备，以支持气象学、海洋学和气候学方面的旋转流体动力学的实验室教学。这些大学的教授和学生正在交流和探索以实验室为基础的教学思想和方法。正在使用第一阶段扩大的评价要素来确定这些实验室的成功以及它们是否能被广泛的机构社区使用。一个详细的评估计划正在被遵循，以量化实施、教学、传播和可持续性。该项目的智力价值是探索如何最好地向学生传达旋转流体动力学的基本原理，这些原理在决定地球气候方面发挥着核心作用。此外，这个项目正在创造新的方法，教学生如何在真实世界的现象、实验室抽象、理论和模型之间移动。正在开发的实验材料和相关课程将对我们大学和学校的许多层面的科学教学产生广泛影响，而不仅仅是气象学、海洋学和气候学。

Atmospheric Sciences (41)This Phase 2 CCLI project builds on a Phase 1 pilot study, which developed curricula material and equipment in support of laboratory-based teaching of rotating fluid dynamics in the context of meteorology, oceanography and climate.Laboratories developed in Phase 1 are being implemented at five universities. Professors and students are exchanging and exploring ideas and methodologies in laboratory-based teaching at these universities. Expanded evaluation elements from Phase 1 are being used to determine the success of these laboratories and if they can be used by a wide community of institutions. A detailed evaluation plan is being followed to quantify implementation, pedagogy, dissemination, and sustainability.The intellectual merit of the project is the exploration of how basic principles of rotating fluid dynamics, that play a central role in determining the climate of the planet, are best conveyed to students. In addition, this project is creating new ways to teach students how to move between phenomena in the real world, laboratory abstractions, theory and models.The laboratory materials and associated curricula that are being developed will have a wide impact in the teaching of science at many levels in our universities and schools, not just in meteorology, oceanography and climate.
