Research• Three Prototype Labs• Labs 1 & 2 - start with “Proof of Concept”
and basic engineering• Modify throughout the lab (as possible)• Each lab builds off the others

A Community of Learners
• As cohort museums we share our process• Open up a dialog about our challenges• Offer a forum on research partnerships• Explore the value of real and authentic experiences in
which engage children and families with evidence

Four findings: Parents’ talk in museums…
n Varies depending on gender of children (and on content of exhibit)
n Scaffolds children to go beyond their initial unfocused observations
n Guides children to attend to evidence
n Varies depending on parents’ background

• Continuing to explore and expand our community of learners and research questions around early childhood and science play
• Investigating means of engaging adults as learners in CM settings
• Practicing a playful approach and serious science e.g. Wild Zones and 01SJ’s Imagination Playground
What’s next?
