Homeschool Series at The Franklin Institute
2006-2007

Implementing quality science instruction into your child's curriculum can be challenging. Why not let The Franklin Institute provide you with the resources of one of America's premier science museums? During our workshops, children interact with real scientists, utilize The Franklin Institute's exhibits and equipment, explore science through hands-on experimentation, and it's all based on the National Science Education Standards.

Two topic specific workshops are now being offered for children ages 7-14. Students will be separated into 2 age specific classes. In case of low enrollment, classes may be combined.
