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

Designed to supplement home education curricula, "The Blueprint of Life" is a hands-on biology class for students ages eight to ten at the Museum of Science & Industry. Part of the Homeschool SEED program, the session investigates the fundamentals of genetics, helping children understand what makes individual organisms unique and why family traits are inherited. Instructors lead the students through interactive experiments that break down complex scientific ideas into accessible, developmentally appropriate lessons. The two-hour classroom exploration fosters an early interest in the life sciences while allowing students to collaborate and problem-solve in a structured peer environment.
