Educational sites on Bermuda?

[Set Free]

OK - I'm a homeschooling mom and will be bringing my two homeschooled kids to Bermuda next week on the Veendam. So I was thinking of making some of that trip "school days" by doing some historical/science stuff while we're there. We'll certainly visit the lighthouse and the fort but is there a good site that shares Bermuda's history and such in a format good for kids? I'm not looking for a ton but to find out a bit and to tie it into our history and science curriculum would be great! Thanks!

The sites come to mind that be useful. For science and history, the Bermuda Underwater Exploration Institute on Hamilton Harbour would be great.

Also a trip out to the Fantasy / Crystal Caves to dovetail with any discussions on geology, stalactites and stalagmites.

And finally a trip out to the Maritime Museum at the Dockyards has great historical interest.

Hi Setfree,

Here's a little-known yet amazingly useful site about Bermuda.

Apart from the tourist related stuff, there are dozens of links to explore.

Keith did a great job on this, and hardly anybody knows about it!

Maybe we should start a thread to promote it?

Have Fun!

Do the Crystal Caves, Botanical Garden or Aquarium/Zoo qualify as "educational activities" for you? I think that children would enjoy those activities.

We're definitely going to look at those. Thanks!
