August Homeschool Classes at Iron Hill Museum & Science Center

August 7th and 18th, 2026 - Plants & Fungus
Plants and fungi belong to completely different kingdoms, but they do grow in the same kinds of places. We know that they can be different, but how are they similar? Both plants and fungi live all over the world, and like both kingdoms they are part of, we find benefits from both of them. Fungi are more than just mushrooms on pizza, and plants are more than just lettuce in our salads and trees that give us oxygen. Join us as we learn about the interesting world of plants and fungi.
Every month during the year, we have Homeschool Days! Explore the natural world in Iron Hill Museum & Science Center’s homeschool classes for individual families. Students ages 5-18 from the homeschool community can attend sessions designed to complement homeschool science curriculums and make homeschooling more convenient, interactive, and engaging for your family.​
Homeschool classes meet on certain week days each month. Please check dates and times on the registration page for each month. Admission is $3 per person. Registration is required for these classes.
Each class runs from 10:30am until 11:30am.
Registration is required. These classes are not just limited to homeschooling families in the summer. Everyone is welcome to join in.
