Homeschooler Days: May Afternoon Program

This month's topic: Unnatural Histories

How did paleontologists invent a fake dinosaur called the brontosaurus? Why did William Bartram see smoke-breathing alligators in Florida? We'll see how sometimes myth-making, ego, greed, and overenthusiasm take a front seat to science and create our own "unnatural history" exhibits.

Homeschooler Days serve homeschooled students, ages 5 to 13, and meets monthly with morning and afternoon sessions to choose from. This year's topics range from geology to color theory, from designing our own cities to creating moss-filled terrariums!

Schedule: 2nd Wednesday of every month. Morning session takes place from 10 am to noon. Afternoon session takes place from 1 pm to 3 pm.

Pre-registration is required. Admission is $10 per child or free for Bartram Members. Non-members may pre-pay via Brown Paper Tickets, or pay at the door.
