Outdoor Ed at Adkins
Science for Home School Students
Uncover the fascinating origins of modern science with a glimpse into the past. Home school students will journey from the birth of science in ancient Mesopotamia to science in the 21st century, with stops along the way in ancient Greece, the Middle Ages, the Scientific Revolution, and The Age of Reason. Delving into the components of the scientific method, students will learn to ask and answer scientific questions by making observations and conducting research. Students will use their newfound knowledge in the field, working in teams to create and test hypotheses related to the Arboretum’s forest, wetland, meadow, and stream habitats. The program will culminate in a science fair showcasing team projects. Registration required. Limit: 15.
Thursdays, October 20–December 1 (no class on November 24), 1–2:30 pm
