In-Home Hands-On Science Series with Live Animals
Homeschool Nature Labs is an engaging, in-person science series designed especially for homeschool families who want meaningful, hands-on learning in a small-group setting.
This 8-week series brings science to life through live animal encounters, biofacts, interactive STEM challenges, and outdoor exploration, all taught from my home in Slidell.
Perfect for learners ages 5–11 (flexible), these classes encourage curiosity, creativity, and real-world scientific thinking.
