ABSTRACTTHE UPPER NEWPORT BAY PROJECT: A COLLABORATIVE APPROACH TO GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION IN THE ORANGE COUNTY COMMUNITY PROJECT SUMMARY FOR A GEOSCIENCE EDUCATION PROPOSALThis project begins to establish Chapman University as the leader in providing the critical scientific data needed for responsible policy decisions concerning the Upper Newport Bay (UNB). UNB serves as Orange County's most visible natural environment. Surrounded by high-density urban development, the Bay receives pollutants from urban and agricultural run-off, marinas, storm water, nurseries, and creeks. Recent development in the area has focused public interest on potential impacts in the estuary. Yet, the Bay has no centralized environmental data repository. This project establishes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) database of scientific (mostly geochemical) data for the Upper Newport Bay in Orange County, California, in a manner that maximizes geoscience education in the community. This project establishes a Geographic Information Systems (GIS) teaching laboratory at Chapman University, and develops a unit aimed at future elementary and intermediate (K-8) school teachers that will combine geoscience field and laboratory investigations with use of GIS technology.Term projects in two upper division Environmental Sciences courses give students the opportunity to do field and laboratory research applied towards a tangible product. A pilot program is designed to give high school science students, teachers, and potential future secondary school teachers an opportunity to do applied field and laboratory research leading tothe presentation of valuable data,

摘要纽波特湾项目：奥兰治县社区社区项目的地球科学教育方法摘要的地球科学教育提案摘要这一项目开始成为查普曼大学，作为提供有关上纽波特湾（上纽波特湾的负责任政策决策所需的重要科学数据）的领导者（ UNB）。 UNB是奥兰治县最明显的自然环境。海湾被高密度的城市发展所包围，从城市和农业径流，码头，雨水，托儿所和小溪中获得污染物。该地区的最新发展使公众对河口的潜在影响重点关注。但是，海湾没有集中的环境数据存储库。该项目为加利福尼亚州奥兰治县上纽波特湾的科学（主要是地球化学）数据建立了地理信息系统（GIS）数据库，以最大程度地提高社区地球科学教育。该项目在查普曼大学建立了一个地理信息系统（GIS）教学实验室，并开发了一个针对未来小学和中级（K-8）学校教师的单位，该单元将将地球科学领域和实验室调查与使用GIS技术相结合。两项高级环境科学课程使学生有机会进行现场和实验室研究，适用于有形产品。 试点计划旨在为高中科学专业的学生，​​教师和潜在的未来中学教师提供机会进行应用领域和实验室研究的机会。
