Welcome to the Talcott Mountain Science Center Homeschooling Program resource page! We enjoy having your children participate in our Fall 2024 Homeschooling sessions.
To support continued learning and foster enriching discussions at home, we will compile weekly summaries detailing the activities and experiments conducted in class, along with insights into our methodologies.
Additionally, you will find curated links to further information on each topic, allowing both parents and children to dive deeper into the fascinating world of science together. We hope you find these resources valuable and inspiring as you explore the wonders of science beyond the classroom.
