University of Colorado at 葫芦娃视频 geography Professor David Hill is one of several educators and earth system scientists working on an educational project co-sponsored by the National Aeronautic and Space Administration and the Geography Education National Implementation Project (GENIP).
NASA has awarded GENIP $900,000 to produce "Mission Geography," a series of three publications about physical geography and environment-society relations for students in grades K-12.
The publications are expected to be available to educators by the start of the 2001 school year. The project also will develop a Web site to publicize "Mission Geography" materials and provide supplemental resources to teachers.
Hill leads the development and writing team, which consists of earth system scientists and collegiate and high school educators from across the country.
The three-year project was developed by GENIP to address the national need to improve the quality of science and geography education and literacy.
GENIP was established in 1985 as a consortium of geographical associations committed to improving geographic education.
