FETCH with Ruff Ruffman is a daily half-hour PBS television series with accompanying Web and outreach activities targeted to 6- to 10-year olds. The program brings science learning to young children by uniquely blending live-action with animation, game show convention with reality programming, and humor with academics. The intended impacts are to 1) help the target audience develop interest, knowledge and skills necessary to do science; 2) train afterschool leaders to better facilitate science activities with kids; and 3) demonstrate how media can be used to teach substantive science and share the results of project evaluation with others in the field. The requested funds will allow the project to expand the science curriculum with 20 new half-hour episodes and expand the Web site, focusing on three new science themes that highlight topics of interest to this age group. The Web site will include four new science-based Web games that will allow kids to create and post content of their own design and contribute to nationwide data collection. A new FETCH Online Training resource will be created to help afterschool leaders to effectively engage in FETCH's hands-on science activities. American Institutes for Research (AIR) will conduct summative evaluation of the Online Training program.

《FETCH with Ruff Ruffman》是 PBS 每天播出的半小时电视连续剧，并附带针对 6 至 10 岁儿童的网络和外展活动。该节目通过独特地将真人表演与动画、游戏节目与真人秀节目以及幽默与学术相结合，为幼儿带来科学学习。预期的影响是 1) 帮助目标受众培养从事科学研究所需的兴趣、知识和技能； 2）培训课后领导者，更好地促进孩子们的科学活动； 3）展示如何使用媒体来教授实质性科学并与该领域的其他人分享项目评估的结果。所申请的资金将使该项目能够扩展科学课程，增加 20 个新的半小时剧集，并扩展网站，重点关注突出该年龄段感兴趣主题的三个新科学主题。该网站将包括四个新的基于科学的网页游戏，让孩子们能够创建和发布自己设计的内容，并为全国数据收集做出贡献。将创建新的 FETCH 在线培训资源，以帮助课后领导者有效参与 FETCH 的实践科学活动。美国研究院 (AIR) 将对在线培训计划进行总结性评估。
