Discover what environmental conditions seeds need in order to germinate. Let's look at different seeds inside and out. What comes first - the roots or the leaves? Why do some seeds need to be planted while others do better on top of the soil? How would you make a pizza garden? Are you starting a school pollinator garden? Do you need advice on how you can create an environmentally friendly garden? These questions and many more that you may have will be answered in this presentation.

Grades 3-12: Math & Art

For centuries, artists have employed mathematical concepts and ideas in their art. This lesson explores those intersections where art and math meet. Together we will investigate how artists have applied math to add meaning, create structure and develop interest in their works. Some of the concepts addressed in this lesson may include: symmetry, geometry, tessellation and perspective. Join us as we explore math through the portal of art.
