Additional Information
Please read all instructions carefully, and sign up and pay for only the child(ren) who will be attending the class! Masks are required for everyone over age 2 on the lower level and in classrooms for the remainder of the school year. For latest information on health and safety precautions in the regular exhibit halls, please check here.
This month – Movers and Shakers - How do you move? In this class you learn about muscle and bone structure and function. Find out what your muscles are made of! Includes chicken foot dissection.
This class is set up for students in grades 7-12, and is taught by HMNS teachers. Hands-on activities are part of each class, including live animals or specimen studies in some classes.
Museum admission: The lab fee includes admission to the museum for the child attending the lab and one chaperone. Any children ages 3 and up who are NOT taking a class, as well as any additional adults exceeding the 1:1 student/chaperone ratio, will need their own ticket ($4 field trip rate)! I will have field trip vouchers for you when you check in with me. The voucher also allows you to purchase discounted tickets to additional museum venues. Show the voucher at any ticket booth to purchase any extra tickets you might like.
NEW THIS YEAR - I will hand out the chaperone stickers (I will be by the marble bench across from the ticket booths and wear a GCCHS lanyard). You MUST arrive at the museum between 10:30-10:50 a.m. Text me if you arrive late and I will try to check you in, but PLEASE be considerate of my time, as I will have my own kids with me. Once you have your chaperone sticker and additional tickets (if needed), make your way downstairs to the classroom. The quickest way to get downstairs is by using the elevators in the back by the Morian Hall of Paleontology. Go to LL, take a right into the hallway, and follow signs to the classrooms. For classroom assignments, please check the signs posted on the doors of the education office (big doors you see to the right as you get off the elevators). The museum requires that two parents stay in the classroom as chaperones (three max right now due to covid). There are a number of chairs set up in the classroom for parents, so if you are able to stay during class, please do.
Please be mindful of Houston traffic, and plan on leaving your house early enough to allow extra time to get to HMNS. Museum parking at the garage is $12 for chaperones. Limited 3 hr. free parking is available next to the museum, and there are other parking opportunities nearby. Some are free, but may require a bit of walking.
The sign-up and payment deadline for this class is January 9th. Failure to pay by this date may result in your child(ren) being dropped from the class! The cost is $15 per child. Please submit payment immediately after signing up.
Please make sure the dates and times of all classes you sign up for work for your schedule. I am unable to offer refunds after the sign-up deadline, as the museum needs to be paid. The ONLY exception to this policy is if you learn you have been exposed to COVID, or develop symptoms/get a positive test after the deadline. In that case, please contact me and I will issue a refund.
If you have any questions, please contact me at [email protected] or text 281-912-4669.
