Homeschool Fall Mixed-Age Flock (Ages 6 to 11) - Wednesday PM
Description
Our afternoon Mixed Age Flock homeschool group has a wider range of ages but the same topics as the morning groups.
This fall we will practice our science skills to do real experiments and data collection in nature while using real science tools. Highlights include learning to use equipment like insect collection nets, ID guides, binoculars, and trail cameras in order to study the wild creatures all around us at the wildlife sanctuary. Some data will even be submitted to real wildlife studies!
