Looking to engage elementary students with plant science? Join U.S. Botanic Garden educators to discover the amazing ways plants disperse their seeds. Engage in a hands-on engineering activity to build seed structures and test their ability to spread with the help of wind, water, and animals. Explore the indoor and outdoor gardens to see examples of seed dispersal mechanisms in action. Teachers will leave with a plan for engaging students in fun, standards-aligned, plant science learning experiences. Lunch will be provided. Certificates will be available for PDUs.This program is offered in collaboration with the Friends of the U.S. Botanic Garden and the D.C. Office of the State Superintendent of Education, School Gardens Program.
