Item Description
Merriam Assistant Dina Samfield will come to your home and provide your child and up to 14 of their friends with a fun, 60-90 minute, hands-on, fun science workshop on kitchen botany.
The program will emphasizes the fact that all of our food is obtained directly or indirectly from plants. After a brief discussion about the major parts of plants and what each part does for the plants themselves, the children will work in groups to put together plant “maps” that they construct from their various parts. They will then examine assorted fruits and vegetables to determine which parts of the plants we eat. After sampling the various fruits and vegetables, everyone will plant a vegetable to grow as a houseplant.
After the program, the children will have a better understanding of the origins of their food, how plants use energy from the sun to make food and oxygen, the functions of plant parts, and the importance of plants in their daily lives. They will also gain an understanding and appreciation for nature.
