The Lynch School of Education at Boston College, the Boston Public Schools Out of School Time Program, the Boston Public School Science Office, the Urban Ecology Institute, UEI at Boston College, Boston's Museum of Science and Onset Computer Corporation proposes to connect classroom science learning in life science and physical science with Out of School time field-based experiences in an urban school district for grades 5-8. The UEI, Lynch School and the Boston Public Schools District have created a national model for an inquiry-based, hands-on approach to science teaching in urban public schools, called the Urban Ecology Field Studies Program. The Program puts the cutting edge discipline of Urban Ecology to work in service to public school students, their science teachers, and out-of-school time (OST) professionals. In the Program, teachers participate in a month-long Summer Institute that provides an introduction to urban ecology and to performing long-term field research with middle and high school students. UEI works with educational professionals both during and outside of school time to take their students outside of the classroom and into the urban environment, using the city as a natural laboratory to study core concepts in biology, chemistry, earth science, and physics. The students will use hands-on field research methods to collect data to form questions and hypotheses in order to understand the world around them. At field sites located near schools, after school programs, and community centers, they study water quality, bird biodiversity, storm water run-off, and other special studies that originate from each student group. A major strength is the Urban Ecology Field Program that will allow the alignment of several successful programs with the Boston Public School life sciences curriculum.

波士顿学院的林奇教育学院，波士顿公立学校毕业时间课程，波士顿公立学校科学办公室，城市生态学院，波士顿学院的UEI，波士顿科学博物馆和一开始计算机公司提议将生活科学和基于校园的课堂科学与Urban Schooly Schoolsive In Urban Schoolsive连接起来，以供您连接到Urban Schooly Schooly of Urban Schooly Schooltion for Urban Schooly Cression for Girss for Girss for Greades 5-8。 UEI，Lynch学校和波士顿公立学校区为基于询问的，动手的科学教学方法创建了一个国家模型，称为城市生态学田野研究计划。该计划使城市生态学的尖端学科能够为公立学校的学生，他们的科学老师和校外时间（OST）专业人士提供服务。在该计划中，教师参加了为期一个月的夏季学院，该研究所提供了城市生态学的介绍，并与中学和高中生进行长期现场研究。 UEI与学校期间和外部的教育专业人员合作，将他们的学生带到课堂外和城市环境中，以城市为自然实验室，研究生物学，化学，地球科学和物理学方面的核心概念。学生将使用动手实地研究方法收集数据以形成问题和假设，以了解周围的世界。在位于学校附近，毕业课程和社区中心附近的现场地点，他们研究水质，鸟类生物多样性，雨水径流以及其他源自每个学生群体的特殊研究。一个主要优势是城市生态现场计划，该计划将使多个成功计划与波士顿公立学校生活科学课程保持一致。
