Experimentation and exploration - the way scientists create new knowledge - will be adopted as the cornerstone for learning and teaching science in Arizona State University's Down to Earth Science fellow/teacher/student partnership program. The activities are based on a strongly interdisciplinary, multiscalar approach to earth systems science in three important research domains that powerfully convey science content - Materials Science and Engineering, Ecology, and Planetary Studies.ASU is poised to launch, and sustain, new approaches to increasing scientific literacy. We will expand upon the strong infrastructure of successful K-12 educational outreach programs from large-scale science and engineering research projects as well as ongoing and extensive collaborations with K-12 education.This project will: 1) integrate research, education, and outreach in a meaningful way by incorporating instructional strategies consistent with the national science standards; 2) increase teachers'knowledge of science content and concepts, and provide them opportunities to engage their students in actual scientific research; 3) help revitalize science education from the use of abstract and obscure examples to the contextual and the relevant; and (4) instill fellows with the skills to communicate scientific concepts to a wider audience and prepare them to be mentors and role models for students.This award is co-supported by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities in the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences.

实验和探索（科学家创造新知识的方式）将被用作亚利桑那州立大学脚踏实地科学研究员/教师/学生伙伴关系计划的学习和教学科学的基石。这些活动基于在三个重要的研究领域中对地球系统科学进行强烈跨学科的多项式方法，这些研究领域有力地传达了科学内容 - 材料科学和工程，生态学和行星研究。科学素养。我们将扩展大型科学和工程研究项目中成功的K-12教育外展计划的强大基础设施，以及与K-12教育的持续和广泛合作。该项目将：1）整合研究，教育和外展活动。通过合并符合国家科学标准一致的教学策略，以有意义的方式； 2）增加教师对科学内容和概念的了解，并为他们提供让学生参与实际科学研究的机会； 3）从使用抽象和晦涩的例子到上下文和相关性，帮助振兴科学教育； （4）灌输研究员的技能，可以向更广泛的受众传达科学概念，并准备成为学生的导师和榜样。该奖项由数学和物理科学局的多学科活动办公室共同支持。
