Homeschool Program: WWII Military Aviation (Virginia Beach)
May 23, 2023 @ 10:00 am - 2:00 pm
Explore science, history and aviation as part of a small group of students during one of our Homeschool Days. Our Homeschool Day programs are held throughout the school year, and are a great opportunity to get your homeschoolers out for an exciting trip to the Museum. The programs are designed to enrich the education being provided at home, by offering the students educational experiences and experiments you might not have the ability to do in the home.
Homeschool Days are drop-off programs, from 10:00am – 2:00pm. Pre-registration is required and attendance is capped at 15 participants. Lunch is not provided, and we do ask that all students be dropped off with a packed lunch. There is no on-site cafe option at the Museum.
Students dive into the exciting life of World War II pilots while exploring the various military aircraft in the Museum’s collection. Hands-on STEM activities include experiments with the Forces of Flight, sitting in a cockpit of a warbird, attempting your own flight on our simulators, and building a warbird model. Lessons introduce students to the advancements in military aircraft manufacturing during WWII and focus on the careers of flying aces from various countries.
Age 10 – 14
