Senior Elementary Homeschool Fall

Thursdays | September 8, October 13, and November 10

Our Senior Elementary Homeschool Program is designed for students ages 9-11 to delve deeper into the natural world. Alongside experienced naturalists, students will explore habitats including the shore of Lake Michigan, ponds, prairies, and forests. We offer a variety of interactions with nature such as hikes, field data collection, and live animals.

September 8, 2022 | Ponding Through the Year: Fall

Explore the ecosystem of different ponds throughout the year. Learners participate in water testing and learn how to take basic measurements in the field. They will hone their observational and identification skills while studying living and non-living parts of the pond environment.

Experience the largest freshwater system on Earth! Discover Lake Michigan’s glacial past and the present-day challenges this system endures.

We will explore topics such as water pollution and prevention, invasive species, bioaccumulation, and the importance of preserving and protecting the world’s fresh water.

Birds are an important part of every ecosystem on Earth. Through hands on activities, outdoor exploration, and games, learners study flight dynamics, adaptations, migration, and more! We will meet our raptor ambassadors as we focus on the role they have in their environment.
