HOMESCHOOL DAYS
Homeschooling families are invited to join us for Homeschool Days during the 2024-2025 school year.
Introducing Our New Format for 2024-2025!
Join us for Science Fair Morning programming and/or Fossil Lab Afternoon programming (including a movie matinee and dino activity)… it’s a full day of programming with options for all ages!
In the morning, students will explore engaging learning stations throughout the gallery, focusing on dinosaurs, fossil formation, palaeobiology, palaeoecology, evolution, and the scientific method. As you journey through the stations, fill out your “Passport Through Time.” In the afternoon, students aged 12+ can enjoy a Palaeo Talk from our curator, Dr. Bamforth, followed by a hands-on activity session in our fossil lab with our palaeo team (for an additional fee). Or, students can enjoy a dino activity and movie (included).
