Celebrating Science - A Family Science Project



  Sustaining Family Science Programs Home


This section presents strategies for supporting those intending to offer inquiry-based science learning experiences to parents, families, and community groups. They are offered not as a checklist, but rather as ideas to consider in crafting community-based science programs in a variety of settings.

Steps for sustaining a Family Science program that support inquiry-based science education reform within the community, fall into four main categories:

Planning Family Science events
Implementing Family Science events
Evaluating Family Science events
Follow-up projects


These are briefly introduced on the website, but for more in depth information on these steps see the PDF version for Sustaining Family Science Programs section or download the Complete Guide.
