inspired by Earth Day

We're getting a jumpstart on Earth Day during this month's Homeschool Hub!  Join us for Earth Day Science next Wednesday, April 13, 2022 at 2 p.m.  Students in grades K-8 will complete two water-related experiments, one exploring the water cycle and the other demonstrating the effects of water pollution.  Registration is required, so sign up online or by phone (205-444-7830) today.

If you're still thirsty for knowledge after the event (which I'm sure you will be!), take a look at one of these new books about taking care of the planet.
