9705555 Hood The goals of the Seattle Partnership for Family Science are to enhance science literacy; increase parental involvement in their children's science education; and increase the numbers and ethnic diversity of families participating in school-based and community science programs. The Partnership will use the existing Seattle Partnership for Inquiry-Based Science, funded by a National Science Foundation grant for local Systemic Change, as the framework for the proposed activities. During the planning phase, the project staff will: * identify barriers to participation by families in their children's education paying special attention to ethnic minorities and individuals with limited proficiency in English; * develop and pilot-test an array of methods aimed at reducing these barriers; * promote awareness and involvement of parents in inquiry-based science activities; * develop new inquiry-based tools for science investigations; and * establish collaborative partnerships among the Seattle School District, the University of Washington, the Woodland Park Zoo, and other informal science centers.

9705555胡德西雅图家庭科学伙伴关系的目标是提高科学素养；增加父母对子女科学教育的参与；增加参加学校科学计划和社区科学计划的家庭数量和种族多样性。该伙伴关系将使用现有的西雅图基于探究的科学伙伴关系作为拟议活动的框架，该伙伴关系由国家科学基金会资助，用于当地的系统性变化。在规划阶段，项目工作人员将：*确定家庭参与子女教育的障碍，特别关注少数族裔和英语水平有限的个人；*开发和试行一系列旨在减少这些障碍的方法；*提高家长对以探究为基础的科学活动的认识和参与；*为科学调查开发新的基于探究的工具；以及*在西雅图学区、华盛顿大学、森林公园动物园和其他非正式科学中心之间建立合作伙伴关系。
