Rather than competition for traditional schooling, informalscience education organizations, such as museums, play a complementary role in enhancingstudents’ interest and exposure to STEM learning. For example, field trips are a commonintersection between informal science education and schools that most educators believe areworthwhile for student learning (Anderson, Kisiel, & Storksdieck, 2006; Cox-Peterson, Marsh,Kisiel, & Melber, 2003; Kisiel, 2005).
