The Accidental Scientist: Internet Resources Exploring Science in Everyday Life

探索馆将开发一系列关于烹饪、园艺和音乐三个热门主题的互联网资源，以鼓励用户在日常活动中进行科学教育活动。 这个为期三年的项目将包括开发和测试资源，探索这些主题背后的科学，使用的概念是，我们所有人，自觉或不自觉地，都是“偶然的科学家”，他们在日常生活中参与科学过程。 目标受众包括一般公众成人和青年。 该网站的组成部分将包括烹饪、园艺和制作音乐等方面，旨在吸引不同的社区。 这些资源还将通过探索馆的国家和地方教育工作者网络为正规教育服务。

The Exploratorium will develop a series of Internet resources on three popular topics -- cooking, gardening, and making music -- to encourage users in science education activities in relation to daily activities. The three-year project will include the development and testing of resources that explore the science behind these topics, using the notion that we all, consciously or not, are "accidental scientists" who engage in the scientific process in the course of everyday life. Target audiences include general public adults and youth. Components of the site will feature aspects of cooking, gardening, and making music that are intended to appeal to diverse communities. The resources will also serve formal education through the Exploratorium's national and local network of educators.
