Developing "Suitcase Lessons in Oceanography" in concert with the FOSS-based K-6 Science Curriculum Currently in Use in a Tri-County EducationalService DistrictThree counties in Oregon are currently involved in improving science education in schools by changing the education paradigm from teaching-centered to learning-centered via inquiry-based hands-on curricula. It is based on a Science-Teacher Partnership Program (SEPS), in which Full Option Science Systems (FOSS) have been adopted for each grade level from K-6, and partnerships have been established to help teachers provide a quality science education for all students. The program is advised by a panel composed of teachers, scientists and administrators with experience and/or interest in hands-on science. The SEPS program has been successful not only in enhancing the young students interest and knowledge of science, but has also had a positive impact by increasing younger students awareness of opportunities and of careers made possible by higher education. However, there is no ocean science component in the curriculum. The objective of this project is to address that deficiency. The project will generate and test the concept of using "Suitcase Lessons in Oceanography", in concert with ongoing curriculum, to infuse ocean science into K-6 science education in the Linn-Benton-Lincoln Educational Service District (ESD). A complete portable module ("Suitcase Lesson") will be created which will allow any faculty member to introduce fundamental science concepts of ocean science to K-6 students. This approach aims at directly addressing NSES goals of science literacy for all; real understanding of scientific processes; and development of a desire for science learning throughout life. In addition it addresses the current need of integrating ocean sciences in a life-long educational program aimed at promoting a basic understanding of the oceans and their relevance to everyday life.

与目前在三县教育服务区使用的基于 FOSS 的 K-6 科学课程一起开发“海洋学手提箱课程” 俄勒冈州的三个县目前正在通过改变以教学为中心的教育模式来改善学校的科学教育通过基于探究的实践课程以学习为中心。 它以科学-教师合作计划 (SEPS) 为基础，其中从 K-6 的每个年级均采用了完整选项科学系统 (FOSS)，并建立了合作伙伴关系，以帮助教师为所有人提供优质的科学教育学生。该计划由一个由具有实践科学经验和/或兴趣的教师、科学家和管理人员组成的小组提供建议。 SEPS 计划不仅成功地提高了年轻学生的科学兴趣和知识，而且还通过提高年轻学生对高等教育带来的机会和职业的认识产生了积极影响。然而，课程中没有海洋科学部分。该项目的目标是解决这一缺陷。 该项目将产生并测试使用“海洋学手提箱课程”的概念，与正在进行的课程相结合，将海洋科学融入林恩-本顿-林肯教育服务区 (ESD) 的 K-6 科学教育中。将创建一个完整的便携式模块（“手提箱课程”），允许任何教师向 K-6 学生介绍海洋科学的基本科学概念。这种方法旨在直接实现全民科学素养的 NSES 目标；对科学过程的真正理解；以及培养终生学习科学的愿望。此外，它满足了当前将海洋科学纳入终身教育计划的需求，旨在促进对海洋及其与日常生活的相关性的基本了解。
