Welcome to the start of another great year for our popular Science Education Days dedicated to homeschool families. As supporters of your family’s choice for self-directed, home-based education, we invite children who are homeschooled to visit the Museum, tour our exhibits, and take part in classroom and planetarium programs. Our workshops and planetarium shows are appropriate for children from five to thirteen years old.

Because of the popularity of our Homeschool Days, this is just the first of three homeschool days for your family this fall. Be sure to watch for upcoming dates: October 25 and November 29. We also have planned an additional three days after the New Year.

 

View the program schedule to make the best choice for your family. It is our goal that your children receive the maximum learning enjoyment from our variety of programs. We have structured the schedule so you can select up to three different classes. For the September session, we have chosen a theme about “building” and each program will be held in one of our classrooms. The youngest students can be simple engineers, pack, design, and build for the future as they learn what it is like to live and work in space, and study and build habitats for animal survival. Children in the third through fifth grade-range create an eco-friendly habitat, and learn about aerodynamics as they design and build a rocket for future space travel. Older children design and build a lunar base, learn about the human impact on wild habitats and challenge themselves with their knowledge of energy, forces, and motion to make the best selection for your family.
