KALAMAZOO, Mich.-On Dec. 6 at 10 a.m., home school students will have the chance to learn about a historic World War II fighter during Home School Discovery Day: All about the P-40 at the Air Zoo.

Students will receive a diagram of the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk, learn about protective camouflage, design their own paint scheme and color their diagram accordingly. They will also examine the Air Zoo's P-40 and learn about its markings.

Home School Discovery Days are designed specifically for home-schooled children ages 9-15. Each multi-disciplinary program has an emphasis on activities relating to the history of aviation and aircraft. Students will explore these subjects through fun and fascinating hands-on activities. Each session lasts approximately 1.5 hours. Programs cost $12 per child. Students must pre-register.
