HOME SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The Schenectady Museum & Suits-Bueche Planetarium has exciting classes available for families looking to
supplement
their at-home science curriculum. Using our exhibits and hands-on activities, you’ll
explore physics, astronomy, chemistry and more.
We appreciate the challenges parents face teaching science in the home. Please consider the Schenectady Museum as your resource
for bridging the gap between science curricula and student comprehension.
Our classes are tailored for a variety of ages,
and provide educational programming, hands-on experiments, and time to socialize with other young scientists.
Best of all, you avoid the risk of explosions in your home!
