“… Anxiety : ,,, Relates to nervousness or concern about the subject. For example, students might come away from a chemistry-based event afraid of the subject because of the types of demonstrations viewed or activities they engaged in. Intelligibility : Refers to whether or not the subject makes sense as scientifically explainable as opposed to being mysterious or involving magical-thinking. − For example, an undesirable outcome would be if participants leave an event with the idea that science is magical or mysterious and without a rational basis. …”

Outreach activities have been an ongoing commitment of the American Chemical Society and other scientific organizations, yet formal assessment of outcomes has been infrequent. We have designed a simple, reliable, and robust format for assessing attitudinal and motivational characteristics of participants attending informal public events that promote interest in and understanding of chemistry. In final form, this 6-item survey can be distributed on the front and back of an 8.5 x 5.5 card (for pre- and post- assessment). Challenges in design included construct selection and independence, adjusting language for the grade 3-12 populations, physical form and distribution, efficiency and reliability of completion, and item performance and symmetry. Along with a description of the design process, psychometric characteristics and results of field testing at outreach events are described.
