ABSTRACTGeoscience Education in Public Parks: Harriman State Park, New YorkA universal model is being developed for Geoscience education in public parks near urban centers. This phase of the project will be to develop an educational videotape and a website. The model is being developed in the 75,000 acre Harriman-Bear Mountain-Sterling Forest State Park, 25 miles to the north of New York City in the Hudson Highlands. The park nowreceives 4.2 million visitors annually including a large proportion of groups who are traditionally underrepresented in the sciences. Outstanding roadside and trailside rock exposures beautifully illustrate fundamental principles of Geology, Mining, Environmental Science, and Civil Engineering. Through them, visitors will be provided with an exciting, hands-on science education experience. One area of geology that is especially well illustrated is that developed during the Rodinian tectonic cycle. An ongoing research project on this aspect of the geology involves five researchers from different schools and their students. The results of these ongoing investigations will be integrated into both the videotape and website. The videotape will be made using new footage from the park as well as film resources donated by ABC Inc. and will be widely distributed to participating museums,schools, and recreational groups. Interlinks within the site will explain the science and scientific data that leads to the explanations presented. Topics for field trips will be largely based upon NJ and NY Science Educational Standards for ready use in K-12 curricula.

公共公园的AbstractGeoscience教育：纽约州哈里曼州立公园正在为城市中心附近的公共公园的地球科学教育开发。该项目的这个阶段将是开发一个教育录像带和网站。该型号是在哈德逊高地纽约市北部25英里的75,000英亩的哈里曼山脉山脉森林州立公园开发的。 NowReceives每年有420万游客，其中包括大量在科学中代表不足的团体。出色的路边和步道岩石的暴露精美说明了地质，采矿，环境科学和土木工程的基本原理。通过他们，将为访客提供令人兴奋的动手科学教育经验。尤其说明的地质领域是在罗丹尼亚构造周期中开发的。关于地质这一方面的正在进行的研究项目涉及来自不同学校及其学生的五名研究人员。这些正在进行的调查的结果将集成到录像带和网站中。录像带将使用公园的新录像以及由ABC Inc.捐赠的电影资源制作，并将广泛分配给参与的博物馆，学校和娱乐团体。网站内的互联链接将解释导致提出的解释的科学和科学数据。实地考察的主题将主要基于NJ和NY科学教育标准，可在K-12课程中准备使用。
