Homeschool Discovery Days

Designed specifically for homeschooled children ages 5-12, Homeschool Discovery Days are held once a month throughout the school year.

Each multi-disciplinary program has an emphasis on a variety of activities related to aviation and space. Students will explore these subjects through fun and fascinating hands-on activities.

Each session costs $20 per child.

April 9, 2013: The Science of Air, It's Everywhere!
10-11:30 a.m.
For kindergarten-2nd graders
Students will perform experiments to demonstrate the concept that air occupies space. An introduction to Bernoulli's Principle and Pascal's Law will be followed by activities with flying creations!

April 9, 2013: Friction in Our Lives
