A committee comprised of 14 researchers in science learning, psychology, and education generally held fact-finding meetings and looked at places where science learning occurs. Their report presents evidence that informal settings can promote science learning, and describes appropriate learning goals for these settings and how to broaden participation in science learning. The topics include theoretical perspectives, everyday settings and family activities, media, and conclusions and recommendations. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
