Is your homeschool learner ready to become an ecologist? Join us at the Wildflower Center for Homeschool Days, where science and nature come to life through hands-on learning and outdoor exploration.

Designed for 2nd–6th grade learners (ages 8–12), each 90-minute session offers TEKS-aligned lessons, interactive activities, and the chance to apply new skills in our gardens. Families will investigate the natural world together while building observation skills, practicing data collection, and discovering cause and effect in nature.

Fall 2026 Sessions

Seed Studies – Wednesday, September 2, 10–11:30 a.m.

Acorns, coconuts, pinecones, oh my! Come learn about the first step in the plant life cycle, seeds! We will learn about the different ways that seeds move and how we study and grow them here at the Wildflower Center.

Water on the Move – Wednesday, October 7, 10–11:30 a.m.

Dive into the wonders of water and how our environment is shaped by it. Come learn how water is moving over the landscape, through plants, and below your feet.

Animal Trackers – Wednesday, November 4, 10–11:30 a.m.

We don’t always see them, but we know they’re here. Become an animal detective and learn what evidence animals leave behind.
