LOOP is a new multiplatform, environmental project designed to help young children, ages 6-8, explore ecosystems and understand the science and systems of the natural world. Built upon a curriculum that moves beyond the 3Rs (reduce, reuse, recycle), the goal is to help lay the foundation for a lifelong interest in the science of sustainability. Deliverables include: a 20-episode television series with animated stories and live-action segments which feature families and children; an online game to immerse players in the same ecosystems seen on television; Loop Live Missions (outdoor science activities); and an afterschool/camp curriculum designed to get children and families outside to explore natural systems. Promotion of LOOP's educational resources will be undertaken through a partner network including the U.S. Forest Service, Children & Nature Network, National Recreation and Park Association, American Camp Association, National Summer Learning Association, Girl Scouts of the USA, and the Boys & Girls Clubs of America. LOOP is produced by WGBH in Boston and intended for national distribution on PBS. The project design creates an "interactive learning loop" which cycles between the television series, the Website, and outdoor science activities. The intended impacts are to: (1) deliver educational media to the target audience that increases their understanding of science and sustainability issues; (2) model and teach science concepts and scientific habits of mind; and (3) connect children and their families to the natural world. Concord Evaluation Group will be responsible for conducting formative and summative evaluation of the project. The summative evaluation is designed to measure project impacts with respect to change in behavior and attitudes, as well as science learning. The results of the evaluation will inform the curriculum for the current and future seasons of LOOP and contribute to the growing knowledge base of how media can effectively promote and teach substantive science to the young.

LOOP是一个新的多平台环境项目，旨在帮助6-8岁的幼儿探索生态系统并了解自然世界的科学和系统。基于一个超出3RS的课程（减少，再利用，回收），目的是为对可持续性科学的终生兴趣奠定基础。 可交付成果包括：20集电视连续剧，其中包含动画故事和现场表演段，其中包括家庭和儿童；在电视上看到的同一生态系统中，将在线游戏沉浸在同一生态系统中；循环实时任务（户外科学活动）；以及旨在让外面的儿童和家庭探索自然系统的课后/营地课程。 将通过合作伙伴网络（包括美国森林服务局，儿童与自然网络，国家娱乐和公园协会，美国营地协会，国家夏季学习协会，美国女童军以及美国男孩和女孩俱乐部）进行促进劳动教育资源的促进。 LOOP由WGBH在波士顿生产，旨在用于PBS上的全国分布。该项目设计创建了一个“互动学习循环”，该循环在电视连续剧，网站和户外科学活动之间循环。 预期的影响是：（1）向目标受众提供教育媒体，以提高他们对科学和可持续性问题的理解； （2）模型和教授科学概念和心理科学习惯； （3）将儿童及其家人与自然世界联系起来。协和评估小组将负责对项目进行形成性和总结性评估。 总结性评估旨在衡量项目对行为和态度的变化以及科学学习的影响。 评估的结果将为课程提供当前和未来循环季节的课程，并为媒体如何有效地促进和教导年轻人的实质科学的知识基础为不断增长的知识基础。
