HOMESCHOOL PROGRAMS
ECHO's Education Team respects the unique teaching opportunities and
independent nature of homeschooling families. We strongly encourage you to plan
a trip to ECHO with other students of similar age and interests so that they may
take part in our Teacher’s Choice programs. We urge
you to make yourselves known to us by sending an email to
Elizabeth Nuckols, ECHO Education
Specialist.
ECHO’s Homeschool Science Series
This winter ECHO will be offering two more sessions of our new Homeschool Science Series. These programs stress science inquiry and investigation. Students will practice thinking like a scientist as they work collaboratively with other participants to explore science topics through hands-on activities.

Thursdays January 22nd – February 19th, 12:30 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.

Description: Travel back in time and visit some distinctly different periods in the Lake Champlain Basin. Our “time machine” will visit a warm water ocean, the time of the dinosaurs, a cold water sea, and Lake Champlain Basin’s indigenous people. |
