Join us for Homeschool Day at Boyce Thompson Arboretum and dive into the science of food chains and food webs by finding out what different animals ate for dinner!
Through hands on activities, guided walks, and interactive lessons, learners will discover how energy flows through ecosystems. Plus, you’ll have the opportunity to dissect a real owl pellet! This engaging program aligns with Arizona Science Standards for 3rd-6th grade and encourages scientific thinking.

Bring your curiosity, a packed lunch, and be ready for a day of discovery! Preregistration is required; walk-ins will not be accepted.
