They are super cool!
What would you do if your water drinking supply became unsafe to drink? Learn about the many properties of water and the various methods for water quality improvement. Designed for hands-on learners, you will engineer a water filter to remove contamination and then compare your results.
Bees Aware
How do bees know where to collect pollen? Do flower petals have patterns that serve as guides for the pollinators? As bees move among flowers, they transfer the pollen which allows plants to produce seeds and flourish. Using microscopes and UV lights, you will dissect a flower and learn the parts that bees need to find to collect their pollen.
