The University of Tulsa proposes a five-week summer workshop, Physics, Chemistry, and Environment: A Hands-On Workshop for Elementary School Teachers, for 25 elementary teachers from rural and gifted/talented classrooms to be repeated each summer for three years. The workshop will select teachers who are not necessarily well-prepared in science although, because they are teaching either gifted and talented children or in a rural classroom, they are skillful teachers accustomed to individualizing the curriculum through working with students of varying abilities and grade levels. The Workshop will strengthen teachers' knowledge of basic physics and chemistry by presenting concepts as they are manifested in the Geosphere/Biosphere. It will also promote teachers' ability to do hands-on experiments with children, and enhance their enjoyment of science and confidence in teaching it. The workshop has several components, namely, (1) activity/discussion sessions on basic physics and chemistry principles, (2) a practicum involving hands-on experiments done with children under the supervision of a master teacher, (3) guest presenters and field trips, (4) discussion of classroom implementation problems and (5) preparation of an implmentation plan and initial teaching units. To maximize the opportunities for classroom impact, the workshop will incorporate participation by administrators, provide equipment for each teacher to take back to his or her home classroom, funded by the local schools, and a vigorous follow-up program of communication, consultation and support. Cost-sharing by the University of Tulsa as well as the cooperating school districts is equal to 26% of the NSF request.

塔尔萨大学提出了为期五周的夏季研讨会，物理，化学和环境：小学教师的动手讲习班，为每年夏天的25名来自农村和天才/才华横溢的教室的小学老师提供三年的小学老师。 研讨会将选择不一定要在科学方面做好充分准备的老师，尽管他们正在教授天才，才华横溢的孩子或在农村教室里，所以他们是熟练的老师，他们习惯于通过与各种能力和成绩的学生一起工作，以使课程个性化。 该研讨会将通过在地质/生物圈中表现出概念来增强教师对基本物理和化学的了解。 它还将促进教师与儿童进行动手实验的能力，并增强他们对科学的享受和教学的信心。 该研讨会有几个组成部分，即（1）关于基本物理和化学原则的活动/讨论会议，（2）在大师老师的监督下与儿童进行的动手实验的实践，（3）访客演讲者和实地考察，（4）课堂实施问题的讨论以及（5）（5）（5）对教学和初始教学计划的准备。 为了最大程度地利用课堂影响的机会，研讨会将纳入管理人员的参与，为每位老师提供设备，以将其带回当地学校资助的他或她的家庭教室，以及一项强大的沟通，咨询和支持的后续计划。 塔尔萨大学以及合作学区的成本分担等于NSF请求的26％。
