Homeschool - Ecologists: Insects

Take a look at the anatomy and physiology of insects and brainstorm what role they play in the biodiversity of our sanctuary. Learn more about invasive insect species such as spotted lanternfly, wooly adelgid, emerald ash borer and Asian longhorn beetles.

This group will concentrate on the interactions between living things and their environment. Students will use nature journals to build observation skills and will focus on drawing, sketching, and documenting varying habitats and their characteristics. Discussions around climate change will weave into each of our days together.

Broad Meadow Brook's homeschool programs offer a friendly, cooperative learning environment for school-aged children! Each class will incorporate hiking and outdoor exploration, hands-on games and activities. Each class will promote observation of our local wildlife as an essential skill. At the end of all programs, students will receive follow-up information and activities so the learning can continue at home.

Classes will be held outdoors except for extreme inclement weather. Health forms are required for drop off students. Families are always welcome to remain at the sanctuary.
