Homeschooled children are invited to the Calvert Marine Museum on Wednesday, April 6 for The Museum Sampler with on-going activities and scheduled programs throughout the day. Beginning at 10:00 a.m., students of all ages will enjoy a day of interactive fun and hands-on learning with a $4.00 admission. 


Scheduled programs include “I’m All Mixed Up” which focuses on animal adaptation; “What Floats” invites participants to experiment with flotation and then build their own boat; “Life of the Native Americans” explores how the native people used natural resources to survive; “Fins and Tails,” a shadow puppet show in the auditorium will introduce the various animals in the marsh; and “Then and Now” a special child-oriented, interactive tour of the Drum Point Lighthouse. At each scheduled stop, participants will have the opportunity to play a game or make something to take home. 


In addition, there will be on-going interpretive and interactive programs in the Fossil Hall, Skates and Rays Exhibit, the Discovery Room Touch Tank, and in the Maritime History Hall.
