This year we feature our Habitat Ecology Learning Program (HELP) designed by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The HELP curriculum spotlights five habitats and provides an overview of key ecological concepts.
Science comes alive with exciting experiments, games, simulation and, of course, live animals. These lessons are designed to spark a sense of wonder in your home-schooled student. All classes are held from 1 to 3 p.m. on the second Wednesday (for 7- to 9-year-olds) and the second Thursday (for 10 and older) of the month. Join one class or all six. Sign up for the whole series and receive a 10 percent discount.
