Description

Squam Lakes Natural Science Center is pleased to announce homeschool program offerings running monthly from November through April. This year our monthly homeschool series will be a series of one-hour, in-person programs held outdoors, followed the next week by a 30-minute virtual wrap-up featuring a live animal.

Homeschool programs are on the first Thursday of the month at the Science Center from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. The virtual live animal wrap-up program is held on the second Thursday of the month from 10:00 to 10:30 a.m. Homeschool programs require advance registration and payment.

The All About series for ages 4 to 6 is all about New Hampshire wildlife. Each monthly program considers a different group of living things through activities, hands-on experiences, and a meeting with a live animal. Monthly topics are:

November: Hawks
December: Porcupines
January: Skunks
February: Groundhogs
March: Owls
April: Turtles

The Get HAPI series for ages 7 to 10 focuses on increasing understanding of the four concepts of community ecology: Habitats, Adaptations, Populations, and Interrelationships (HAPI). Through activities and investigations, participants will explore the topics in-depth. Monthly topics are:

November: Adaptations
December: Nocturnal Animals and Their Adaptations
January: Interrelationships
February: Populations
March: Habitats
April: Ecosystems

Homeschool programs are $9 per member child per monthly session and $11 per non-member child per monthly session. An adult must be present with child, at no additional cost however, each additional adult will pay child fee. Register online at nhnature.org and view the Calendar of Events.
