Beau has a science class once a month in the basement of the Houston Museum of Natural Science. I was able to get him in to this program by registering with HEART - Home Education and Responsible Teaching. To join their group, it was $35 for the year. They have other activities but I specifically joined because of the science classes. I registered Beau for the science class in August, and I had to do so fast. They have various times and days but they fill up quickly. I checked the calendar on the HEART website a few times a day so I was able to catch it when they posted registration.
The class is an hour long and in the basement of the museum. You get free admission for you, your student and whoever else is with you when you come. You are allowed to sit in the class with your student, even if you have another child with you, as long as they aren't disruptive. Since Harper is in her terrible two stage, we site right outside the classroom and play while Beau is in class. I try and get my husband to come with us so Beau has someone there with him, but he has been by himself before as well.
After the class we have access to any of the museum's permanent exhibitions, as well as discounted rates on other exhibits and movie showing.
This science class has been a great addition in his homeschooling and we look forward to continuing it for years to come!
