Homeschool Day: Exploring Space
March 20 @ 9:30 am - 3:30 pm
What better way to spend a day than immersing your students in the Witte Museum? Join us for a fun day of interactive learning at Homeschool Day!
Choose between two special programs:
Moon Moves • 9:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m. & 1:30 p.m.
Why does it get dark during an eclipse? Inspired by the upcoming total solar eclipse, join us for this hands-on workshop and examine the movements of the Sun, Earth and Moon. Learn about the use of advanced science and technology in space, create your own model to simulate the orbits of space objects and demonstrate how an eclipse occurs.
Astronaut Boot Camp • 10:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m. & 2:30 p.m.
