This article provides guidelines and resources for parents who wish to help their children find success in science. It begins by identifying where science curricular frameworks are based. It goes on to debunk myths that hold parents back from working with their children on science. The authors then explain specific ways in which parents can work with their children on science, such as allowing children to see the science taking place all around them. A list of science websites to stimulate students’ minds is included. Finally, the article concludes with homework guidelines and homework resources available online for both parents and students.
