The design and development of an outreach activity targeted at 6th grade middle school students, which aims to determine the level of phosphate in samples of water from nearby lakes and streams, are detailed. Several parameters were noted as key to the successful implementation of this activity in a school setting and to it being well-received by both students and teachers. These include the hands-on nature of the experiment, the use of professional scientific equipment and protocols, and the relevance to everyday life and nearby societal issues. Incorporation of the activity into the middle school science curriculum and educational standards are discussed. Qualitative data indicate that the outreach activity was positively received by students and teachers alike. Statistical differences were found between schools and gender even before performing the activity, suggesting that not all student audiences have the same predisposition for science. Overall, the outreach activity appeared to increase stronger endorsements of positive attitudes toward science. Cumulatively, these results suggest that the outreach activity was well-received and engaging and indicate that it increases positive attitudes toward science, though more in-depth and longitudinal analyses are necessary for future studies.

中学生环境拓展活动的设计与评估
详细介绍了针对六年级中学生的外展活动的设计和开发，该活动旨在确定附近湖泊和溪流的水样中的磷酸盐含量。几个参数被认为是在学校环境中成功实施这项活动的关键，并受到学生和老师的一致好评。其中包括实验的动手性质，使用专业的科学设备和规程以及与日常生活和附近的社会问题的相关性。讨论了将该活动纳入中学科学课程和教育标准的情况。定性数据表明，外展活动得到了学生和老师的积极肯定。甚至在进行这项活动之前，在学校和性别之间就发现了统计差异，这表明并非所有的学生听众都有相同的科学倾向。总体而言，外展活动似乎增强了对科学的积极态度的认可。累积地，这些结果表明，外展活动受到了广泛的欢迎和参与，并表明它对科学的态度更加积极，尽管将来的研究需要进行更深入和纵向的分析。
