Overview

Homeschool SEED

Keep your child growing with monthly homeschool science experiences. MOSI offers SEED (science experience and enrichment days). Let us complement your homeschool curriculum, and encourage hands-on exploration of STEAM topics (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics).

SEED classes are divided by age into two groups, a class for students ages 5-7 years, and a class for students ages 8-10 years.

Additional Details
  • Homeschool classes are for students only. We ask that parents make other arrangements during class time
  • Programs will check-in at the MOSI lobby
  • Classes are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 1pm–3pm
  • Pre-registration and payment are required at least one week in advance

Homeschool SEED: The Blueprint of Life (Ages 8-10)

  Dec 1, 2026 1:00 pm

Also available Thursday, December 3rd | Ages 8-10

What makes you unique and special? Why do you sometimes hear that you look or act like a family member? The answer lies in genetics—and in three powerful letters: DNA! In this engaging, hands-on class, students will explore the building blocks of life that are passed down through generations to make each person one of a kind. They will compare DNA extracted from plants and humans and investigate how scientists study genetic material. Students will also be introduced to gel electrophoresis through simple, age-appropriate experimentation to see how DNA can be separated and analyzed. Along the way, they’ll discover how genetics shapes who we are and connects us to every living thing around us.
