PROJECT ABSTRACT FOR UTAH GK-12 GRANTThe Think Globally, Learn Locally: Neighborhood Ecology in a Global Perspective (TGLL) program is a collaboration involving graduate students and faculty from the Departments of Biology, Geology & Geophysics, Atmospheric Sciences (formally Meteorology) and the Utah Museum of Natural History, together with teachers and students from elementary schools in the Salt Lake City School District. TGLL will train 9 Graduate Fellows per year to develop and lead Inquiry-Based Activities (IBAs) for fourth, fifth and sixth grade students. These activities will focus on five major environmental issues: (1) habitat alteration, (2) pollution and disturbance, (3) invasive species, (4) climate change, and (5) disease. Students will learn the science behind these issues, their practical implications, and how individual lifestyle choices scale up to affect the relevant processes on a global scale. TGLL Fellows will serve as scientific role models and mentors to young students at a critical stage of their intellectual and emotional development, and will show them how to become citizen scientists with the outlook and preparation needed to engage productively with complex, emerging environmental issues.The TGLL program will make science accessible to a wide audience by targeting schools and neighborhoods with high minority populations and actively recruit TGLL Fellows from underrepresented groups. The IBAs developed in the TGLL program will be integrated with the Science Core Curriculum of the State of Utah for fourth, fifth and sixth grades. By working with TGLL Fellows K-12 teachers will gain confidence in scientific teaching, and become active members of a research and teaching network.

犹他州 GK-12 格兰特项目摘要“全球思考，本地学习：全球视角下的邻里生态学”(TGLL) 项目是一项合作项目，涉及生物系、地质学与地球物理系、大气科学系（正式气象学系）和犹他州自然历史博物馆与盐湖城学区小学的师生一起。 TGLL 每年将培训 9 名研究生，为四年级、五年级和六年级学生开发和领导探究型活动 (IBA)。这些活动将重点关注五个主要环境问题：(1) 栖息地改变，(2) 污染和干扰，(3) 入侵物种，(4) 气候变化，(5) 疾病。学生将学习这些问题背后的科学原理、其实际意义，以及个人生活方式的选择如何扩大影响全球范围内的相关进程。 TGLL 研究员将成为处于智力和情感发展关键阶段的年轻学生的科学榜样和导师，并向他们展示如何成为公民科学家，并具备有效解决复杂的新兴环境问题所需的远见和准备。 TGLL 计划将以少数族裔人口较多的学校和社区为目标，并积极从代表性不足的群体中招募 TGLL 研究员，从而使广大受众能够接触到科学。 TGLL 项目中开发的 IBA 将与犹他州四年级、五年级和六年级的科学核心课程相结合。通过与 TGLL 研究员合作，K-12 教师将获得对科学教学的信心，并成为研究和教学网络的积极成员。
