The purpose of this study is to investigate how online museum resources support families’ engagement in science learning at home. There are three (3) kinds of participation in this study: a survey, an interview, and/or production of a video that shows your family engaging with an online museum resources at home. Surveys and interviews may take up to one (1) hour each. The video may take 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on your choice of online museum resource.

Risks related to this research include identification of family members based on demographic information in the survey and faces on video and audio. Benefits related to this research include the use of online museum resources to support at-home science learning in a difficult time, which may benefit other families in how they use online resources and museums in how they develop resources.
