Homeschool Days

The marine science curriculum moves from the textbook to the laboratory during this educational session designed specifically for home-educated students. Inside the classrooms at Mote Marine Laboratory & Aquarium, scientists guide young researchers through hands-on experiments focused on estuarine ecology and marine biology. The syllabus incorporates physical specimen examinations, water quality testing, and direct observation of the facility's aquatic habitats. By utilizing professional research equipment and engaging directly with the coastal environment, the program provides a structured, peer-oriented science laboratory experience that fulfills academic requirements while introducing students to the realities of marine conservation work.
