Program Description:

We will explore the life cycle of a plant through immersive visualization and by modeling a plant’s structures and functions. The group will dramatize a pollinator’s role in how flowers turn into seeds and explore the unique ways that plant seeds are dispersed. As a class, the students will also create a model to explore the parts of a tree and the role each part plays in the tree’s survival, all while discovering the services plants provide, both to their ecosystems and to people.
