Students will learn animal survival strategies, learn about core and extremity body temperatures as they relate to hypothermia, take the ice bucket challenge, and experiment with insulators. Meet at Quarry Hill and dress to be outside for a portion of the class.

Homeschool classes are taught by our experienced naturalists and use the extensive resources in Quarry Hill Park to create unique, locally based science experiences that support at home learning while building respect for the natural world. 

These classes are for homeschooled students only, are based on age, and are offered two times during the school year. Topics rotate from year to year.
