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”

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.”
