Looking for an exciting and engaging way to upgrade your out-of-school time programming?
The Nature Museum Science Enrichment Series brings an experienced Museum educator to your school. Whether it’s after school, on the weekend, or over the summer, our educators will lead your students through an inquiry-based education program with a focus on local species and habitats. This 6-lesson program is flexible to meet your and your students’ schedule.
Take the guesswork and prep work out of science programming with our hands-on 6-lesson curriculum, packed, prepared, and ready for your students. Your community and school families will also have the opportunity to take a field trip to the Nature Museum complete with bus reimbursement. Plus, our educators will work with your teachers directly to build their capacity and confidence to continue leading high quality STEM programming at your school long after the series is complete.
