The Aquarium Homeschool Series is back!  

REGISTRATION WILL OPEN

September 15th at 9:00AM

 

 

 Each Wednesday from October through March, we will take students (Ages 6 - 11 years old)on a journey through our coastal habitats, our aquarium, even geologic history as we learn about the world around us. Come join us for science experiments, hands-on exploration, and educational games that go far beyond your average science class!

You have your choice of class times 9:30 - 11:00am or 1:30pm-3:00pm.

This series is most effective as a whole unit, so we encourage students to sign up for multiple sessions. However, each day is also designed to stand alone as a single lesson.
