项目摘要

Project Summary Science is best learned by doing what scientists do, especially in performing authentic scientific investigations where the unknowns are many, the design to experimentally explore the unknowns is complex, the instruments and expertise to execute the experiment(s) are advanced, and a highly skilled and informed mentor is critical. The New Hampshire Academy of Science (NHAS) believes that the pursuit of scientific investigations that contribute to scientific understanding and inspire the pursuit of STEM careers should be available to all students. In our northern area of NH and VT, opportunities for pre-college students to perform meaningful and inspiring scientific research with teachers as effective science mentors are extremely limited or non-existent. The NHAS intends to help resolve these limited opportunities by using its advanced STEM Lab and its connections with mentors in our scientific community to greatly expand its support of middle and high school students and their teachers in experiencing discovery-based science. The NHAS has established a well- equipped primary satellite STEM laboratory at the Fairbanks Museum and Planetarium (FMP) that has a close relationship with the economically depressed rural north of VT in order to advance the museum’s science programs and offer students experiences in inquiry-based research. The NHAS will also establish a primary site at Colby Sawyer College (CSC) that will make the design and execution of research-based activities part of the learning experience of future biology/science teachers at CSC with IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) support. CSC will also function as a geographically strategic location for outreach to secondary schools in the rural center of NH. A small number of more modest secondary satellite laboratories will be established in regional schools for students to perform research that matches their abilities and interests. Teachers will be provided professional development in the day-to-day practices of professional scientists to transform those teachers into inspirational mentors for their students. This will influence these teachers and their peers to performing inquiry-based science investigations in their respective schools. A web-based system will provide peer-to-peer student, teacher, and mentor platforms to ensure that students and teachers have the constant intellectual and personal support that they need for career advancement. There will be multiple opportunities for students and teachers to present their research at regional and national science events including the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Parents will be encouraged to attend these events as well as more local conferences to help them appreciate the opportunities in STEM careers for their children. This long-term mentoring support for students and teachers on both personal and intellectual levels serves a critical need for attracting and retaining underserved students into science and health careers. With this grant, the STEM Labs of the NHAS, FMP, and resources at CSC will create a vibrant scientific community in the region, where students, teachers, and parents have a shared and enduring role.

项目摘要通过做科学家的工作，最好学到科学，尤其是在执行真实科学方面未知数的调查，实验探索未知数的设计是复杂的，执行实验的工具和专业知识是先进的，并且是高度技能和知情的心理是至关重要的。新罕布什尔州科学院（NHAS）认为，追求科学有助于科学理解并激发对STEM职业的追求的调查应该是所有学生可用。在我们NH和VT北部地区，预科学生有机会表演作为有效的科学导师的有意义和鼓舞人心的科学研究非常有限或不存在。 NHA打算通过使用其先进的STEM实验室来帮助解决这些有限的机会它与我们科学界的导师的联系，以极大地扩大对中间和高中的支持学校的学生及其老师从事基于发现的科学。 NHA建立了一个很好的 Fairbanks博物馆和天文馆（FMP）配备的主要卫星茎实验室（FMP）与VT以北的经济沮丧的农村的关系，以推进博物馆的科学计划并为学生提供基于询问的研究的经验。 NHA还将建立一个主要网站在科尔比·索耶学院（CSC），将使基于研究的活动的设计和执行一部分 CSC的未来生物学/科学教师的学习经验以及生物医学研究的想法网络卓越（ybre）支持。 CSC还将充当地理战略位置的外展 NH农村中心的中学。少数更少的次要卫星实验室将在区域学校建立，供学生进行与他们的能力和兴趣相匹配的研究。将在专业科学家的日常实践中为教师提供专业发展将这些老师转变为学生的鼓舞人心的导师。这将影响这些老师及其同伴在其各自的学校进行基于询问的科学调查。基于网络的系统将提供点对点的学生，老师和心理平台，以确保学生和老师拥有他们需要持续的智力和个人支持才能实现职业发展。会有多个学生和老师在区域和国家科学活动中介绍他们的研究的机会包括美国科学发展协会年会。父母会鼓励参加这些活动以及更多的当地会议，以帮助他们欣赏机会在他们的孩子的STEM职业生涯中。这两个个人的长期心理支持智能水平对吸引和保留服务不足的学生进入科学和医疗职业。有了这笔赠款，CSC的NHA，FMP和资源的STEM实验室将创造一个充满活力的该地区的科学界，学生，老师和父母在那里扮演着共同且持久的角色。
