The Children's Museum of San Jose, in collaboration with developmental psychology researchers at UC Santa Cruz (UCSC) and science and education staff of the UC Berkeley Museum of Paleontology (UCMP), is conducting a 48-month long project that focuses on children's use of evidence to construct scientific explanations. Key deliverables are: a 2,300 square-foot paleontology exhibit with an Evidence Central area three "evidence hubs" at the Children's Museum of San Jose, an educational Web site developed by UCMP, research on children's use of evidence conducted by Maureen Callanan's research group at UCSC, a "state of the children's museum field" study on varieties of perspectives on "science" and "evidence," and professional development experiences for staff at children's museums. Additional partners include the children's museums in Austin, TX, Madison, WI, and Providence, RI and local Vietnamese and Latino organizations in the museum's neighborhood. Randi Korn & Associates will conduct the program summative evaluation process and the "state of the field" study.The project identifies and will work to address two specific needs in the field: (a) a clearer sense of the developmental progression of children's understanding of evidence, and (b) a rigorous and systematic investigation of children's open-ended reasoning about evidence in a rich content domain (paleontology). The strategic impact goal is to build capacity in children's museums, enabling them to offer more evidence-based science learning experiences for their visitors.

圣何塞儿童博物馆与加州大学圣克鲁斯分校（UCSC）的发展心理学研究人员以及加州大学伯克利分校古生物博物馆（UCMP）的科学和教育工作人员合作，正在进行一项为期48个月的项目，重点是儿童使用证据来构建科学解释。 主要交付成果包括：一个2,300平方英尺的古生物学展览与证据中心区三个“证据中心”在儿童博物馆的圣何塞，一个教育网站开发的UCMP，研究儿童使用的证据进行莫琳卡拉南的研究小组在UCSC，一个“国家的儿童博物馆领域”研究的各种观点的“科学”和“证据”，“和儿童博物馆工作人员的专业发展经验。 其他合作伙伴包括德克萨斯州奥斯汀、威斯康星州麦迪逊和罗德岛州普罗维登斯的儿童博物馆以及博物馆附近的当地越南人和拉丁裔组织。 兰迪科恩协会将进行项目总结性评估过程和“现场状态”研究。该项目确定并将致力于解决该领域的两个具体需求：（a）更清晰地了解儿童对证据理解的发展进程，（B）对儿童在丰富内容领域（古生物学）对证据的开放式推理进行严格和系统的调查。 战略影响目标是建设儿童博物馆的能力，使其能够为游客提供更多基于证据的科学学习体验。
