Homeschool Day at The Children’s Museum


Tuesday, March 27, 2012


Join us for our last homeschool day of the school year. We have worked diligently to make coming to The Children’s Museum this year enjoyable, entertaining and educational for your child. You are not going to want to have your child miss out on their final opportunity to participate in one of our most popular learning experiences. We will continue our goal to enhance your child’s science skills with specialized programs for children ages five to thirteen.
The school year concludes with our final set of classes on Tuesday, March 27. We hope to see you and your friends one more time, as we will not be holding any homeschool programs again until the fall.

The winter session concludes on Tuesday, March 27. We hope to see you again as we will not be holding any programs again until the fall.

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 presentations. We have structured the schedule so you can select up to three different classes. Younger students learn all about the moon (in a classroom!), be a mythbuster or discover the basics of electricity. Children in the third through fifth grade-range design and build a bridge that can withstand the rigors of testing, experiment with Newton’s Laws of Motion or go on a geology field trip along the Connecticut River in our planetarium. Older students take flight like the Wright Brothers, become an astronaut in outer space or go underwater and become an ocean scientist.
