Functions and Benefits of Trees

Colonial Gardens

Join Jayda abd Botanical Brian at Colonial Gardens to learn how trees grow, reproduce, and supply so many benefits to humans.

“LO.1.D.8.a Identify and contrast the structures of plants and animals that serve similar functions (e.g., taking in water and oxygen, support, response to stimuli, obtaining energy, circulation, digestion, excretion, reproduction)
Examples of animal behaviors that affect the probability of plant reproduction could include transferring pollen or seeds; and, creating conditions for seed germination and growth. Examples of plant structures that affect the probability of plant reproduction could include bright flowers attracting butterflies that transfer pollen, flower nectar and odors that attract insects that transfer pollen, and hard shells on nuts that squirrels bury.] 6-8.LS1.A.4 – LO.2.A.6.a Describe how plants use energy from the Sun to produce food and oxygen through the process of photosynthesis”

Statistics & Physics in Baseball

Kansas City Monarchs

Today Jayda visits the Kansas City Monarchs to explore how math, physics and baseball go hand in hand.

7.DSP.C – 7.DSP.C.5a – 7.DSP.C.5b Develop, use and evaluate probability models.
Determine probabilities of simple events.
Understand that the probability of a chance event is a number between 0 and 1 that expresses the likelihood of the event occurring. 6‐8.DA.VT.01 Collect data using computational tools and
display it for the end user in an easy to understand way. 6-8.PS2.A.1 Apply physics principles to design a solution that minimizes the force of an object during a collision and develop an evaluation of the solution.

Cyber Forensics

FBI

Today Mitch visits the FBI to investigate how investigators use technology to solve crimes.

ISA.8 Describe the rationale for various security measures when using technology.

Science Demonstrations

Adventure Science Center

Finley learns more about mising chemicals and how some are good for us and some are bad for us.

“7.PS1: Matter and Its Interactions
4) Analyze and interpret chemical reactions to determine if the total number of atoms in the reactants and products support the Law of Conservation of Mass.
5) Use the periodic table as a model to analyze and interpret evidence relating to physical and chemical properties to identify a sample of matter.”
