Fall Foliage and Winter Plant Dormancy

When
29 Oct 2019
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
Location
Tanglewood Nature Center

Homeschooling families - want to get outside on a science expedition, meet other families, and learn about a topic in-depth with hands-on exploration? Our homeschool drop-in program returns the last Tuesday of the month! Each program will dive into a different topic, and the curriculum is designed to enrich and expand on STEM standards. Dress for the weather and expect to spend some time outdoors!

This week, we'll learn about the biology and the chemistry behind trees changing their leaf colors - at a kid-friendly level. Which trees change colors, and why? What are the pros and cons of losing your leaves or keeping your needles? We'll meet some trees - and some species who depend upon trees - up close and personal.

$5 for a family if you're a member of Tanglewood; if you're not yet a member, $10 for the family. Cash is preferred.

Please arrive a few minutes early to check in, so that the program can start on time.
