Development and Testing of "Geoscience Data Puzzles": Low-Barrier-to-Entry Data-Using ActivitiesThis award is being used to design and test a form of data-using activity for middle- and high school students that presents a low barrier-to-entry for teachers and a high ratio of insight-to-effort for students. These "Data Puzzles" stress the challenge and reward of answering questions and solving problems through using data. Data Puzzles use carefully-selected snippets of authentic geoscience data, can be solved in 15 minutes to an hour, draw on quantitative reasoning and knowledge of Earth processes, offer discovery moments when a pattern or trend or solution emerges from the data, and are accompanied by a rich pedagogical content knowledge document for teachers. Properly constructed Data Puzzles will serve as a bridge into the power of teaching with data for teachers who themselves have little or no experience in using data to answer questions or solve problems and, if permeated through the curriculum, offer frequent data-using opportunities for teachers who are already comfortable using data. A test suite of Data Puzzles is being investigated through an in-service professional development program that includes a large proportion of underserved communities and populations that are underrepresented in science. Two cohorts of teachers, one with substantial inquiry and data analysis expertise and the other with no significant experiences working with data, will be used to test and review the six Data Puzzles being created as part of this award.

“地球科学数据难题”的开发和测试：使用Activitiesthis奖的低键对数据奖的奖励用于设计和测试一种对中学和高中生的数据使用形式，这些活动为教师提供了低障碍，并为学生提供了高比例的洞察力。这些“数据难题”强调了通过使用数据解决问题和解决问题的挑战和回报。数据拼图使用精心安排的真实地球科学数据的片段，可以在15分钟到一个小时内解决，借鉴地球过程的定量推理和知识，提供发现时刻或从数据中出现的模式或趋势或解决方案，并伴随着丰富的教师的教学内容知识文档。适当构建的数据难题将成为教学能力的桥梁，这些数据与他们本身很少或没有使用数据回答问题或解决问题的经验的教师，如果通过课程渗透，请为已经舒适使用数据舒适的教师提供频繁的使用数据。通过一项在职专业发展计划调查了一系列数据难题，其中包括大量服务不足的社区和人口，这些社区和人口中的人数不足。 两名教师，一个具有大量查询和数据分析专业知识的教师，另一个没有与数据一起工作的重要经验，将用于测试和审查作为该奖项的一部分创建的六个数据难题。
