\n MECKLENBURG COUNTY, N.C. \u2014 An increasingly popular biology
\n course at a North Carolina nature center is providing a
\n classroom-style learning experience for home school students.\n <\/p>\n
\n The unique science lab is becoming in high-demand for students.\n <\/p>\n
\n Using clay, a group of homeschoolers gets a lesson in science.
\n They mold the stages of a bullfrog's lifecycle and learn a
\n biology in the process.\n <\/p>\n
\n
\n \u201cI didn't know a lot about homeschooling before this job. I
\n just thought they stayed at home and learned and never really
\n got out. And I think that's the perception of it,\u201d said
\n Anne-Marie Stevenson with the Latta Plantation Nature Center.\n <\/p>\n
\n Stevenson teaches the homeschool biology course for
\n third-graders through fifth-graders at Latta Nature Center.
\n High demand for the class pushed the center to open a second
\n course so students could get the lab experience that Stevenson
\n said is vital.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cThey're learning how to cooperate and divide tasks up and work
\n together,\u201d said Stevenson.\n <\/p>\n
\n Homeschool student Sudie St. Yves took part in the project a
\n couple of years ago.\n <\/p>\n
\n \u201cWe had to feed [the tadpole] lettuce and flightless fruit
\n flies and pretty much we're going to have to do the same
\n thing,\u201d said St. Yves.\n <\/p>\n
\n Stevenson hopes the classroom-style environment will help the
\n homeschool students start to think like scientists\n <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
