DragonflyTV GPS: Investigating the Nanoworld

双子城公共电视台将为蜻蜓电视GPS系列节目制作六集新节目，以便向广大的儿童、成人和教育工作者介绍纳米科学和纳米技术领域正在发生的革命性进展。这些新节目将把DragonflyTV的GPS聚光灯投射到NISE网络中的科学博物馆网络上，展示目前正在开发的新的纳米科学项目和展品。DragonflyTV是一档针对8-12岁儿童的每周科学电视系列节目，介绍美国各地科学中心的儿童从事探究式调查。每项调查都将展示在科学中心的学习经历与这些课程在日常生活中的应用之间的直接联系。每一集纳米世界将采用蜻蜓“真正的孩子…“真正的科学”模式，传达纳米科学的科学过程和基本概念。DragonflyTV GPS将与NISE网络合作，该网络由波士顿科学博物馆、探索博物馆和明尼苏达科学博物馆领导。这些剧集将由PBS Plus播出。辅助产品包括教育者指南、纳米世界海报和pbskids.org/go网站。多媒体研究，并将对电视制作进行形成性和总结性评价。因弗内斯研究中心将对TPT和博物馆合作伙伴之间的合作过程进行评估，并确定每个小组所吸取的具体经验教训。

Twin Cities Public Television will produce six new episodes for the Dragonfly TV GPS (Going Places in Science) series in order to inform a mass audience of children, adults and educators about the revolutionary advances taking place in nanoscience and nanotechnology. The new programs will shine the DragonflyTV GPS spotlight on the network of science museums in the NISE Network, showcasing the new nanoscience programs and exhibits that are currently being developed. DragonflyTV, a weekly science television series targeted at children ages 8-12, presents children engaged in inquiry-based investigations, on-location in science centers across America. Each investigation will demonstrate the direct connection between learning experiences in science centers and the application of those lessons in everyday life. Each Nanoworld episode will apply the Dragonfly "Real Kids . . . Real Science" model, communicating both the scientific process and basic concepts in nanoscience. The DragonflyTV GPS will involve collaboration with the NISE Network, led by the Museum of Science in Boston, the Exploratorium, and the Science Museum of Minnesota. The episodes will be distributed by PBS Plus. Ancillary products will include an Educator's Guide, a Nanoworld poster, and a website featured on pbskids.org/go. Multimedia Research and will conduct formative and summative evaluations of the television production. Inverness Research will evaluate the collaborative process between TPT and the museum partners, and identify specific lessons learned by each group.
