Do you love our Discovery Lab program but wish they were during the day? This month we are offering a daytime Discovery Lab program specifically for homeschool students and their parents! Our theme is fossils! Scientists can glimpse a fascinating past by studying fossils of creatures that lived long ago. Join us for self-guided activities, demos, crafts and more! PhD student Miguel Montalvo and our marine science educators will teach you all about marine fossils and how we use them here at VIMS.
Discovery Labs are free, family-friendly programs provided each month by CBNERR-VA at VIMS. Designed with elementary-aged youth and their parents in mind, each lab focuses on a different topic related to the Chesapeake Bay and our local environment and includes exhibits, demonstrations, and hands-on activities.
Reservations to this event are required due to limited space.
