Based on the National Research Council study “Learning Science in Informal Environments: People, Places, and Pursuits”, this book makes valuable research accessible to those frontline science educators working in informal settings outside school in museums, libraries, nature centers, after-school programs, amateur science clubs, and even during conversations at the dinner table. It provides case studies, illustrative examples, and probing questions as ways for practitioners to support diverse types of learners.
