The Northwest Georgia Science Museum, also known as Tellus has two Tuesdays a month, from 1-3pm dedicated to homeschoolers.  To schedule Home School Tuesday or any other program at Tellus, call 770-606-5699.

Tellus is a world-class 120,000 square foot museum is located in Cartersville, GA just off I-75 at exit 293. The museum’s exhibits will open minds and ignite a passion for science. Tellus will feature four main galleries: The Weinman Mineral Gallery, The Fossil Gallery, Science in Motion and The Collins Family My Big Backyard. A 120-seat digital planetarium and an observatory with a state-of-the-art 20-inch telescope will also be located at Tellus.

Eye-popping exhibits like an 80 foot-long Apatosaurus and a replica Wright flyer will excite and amaze visitors of all ages. Children will have a blast conducting hands-on experiments with light, sound, magnets and more. Dazzling gems and minerals will sparkle and glow alongside interactive exhibits demonstrating how the Earth moves and changes.

Tellus will educate, inspire, and engage diverse audiences about science through collections, hands-on/minds-on experiences and Georgia connections.
