家庭有很大的可能性作为幼儿（3 - 6岁）的科学学习环境。这项定性案例研究调查了父母需要什么样的支持来与孩子在家进行在线科学活动。资料来源为家长主题访谈（n=7），主要研究结果为家长支持需求模式。该模型包含三个维度：1）情感维度，2）知识和技能维度，3）组织维度。父母自己的情感体验，实验的组织和找时间做实验是重要的因素，考虑当父母的意愿，从事科学活动与他们的孩子。父母可能不一定满足于仅仅把孩子对实验的兴趣作为在家里开展科学活动的理由，相反，他们需要自己感兴趣并参与活动。
Homes have remarkable possibilities to act as science learning environments for young children (3 - 6 years old). This qualitative case study investigated what kind of support parents need to do online science activities with their children at home. Data consisted of parent’s theme interviews (n=7). As a main result, a model of parents’ need for support was produced. The model contains three dimensions: 1) the affective dimension, 2) the knowledge and skills dimension and 3) the organizational dimension. Parents’ own affective experiences, organization of the experiments and finding time to do experiments are important factors to consider, when looking at parents’ willingness to engage in science activities with their children. The parents might not necessarily be content with only the child’s interest in experimenting as a reason to carry out science activities at home, instead they need to be interested and engaged in activities themselves.
