The Exploring Trees Inside and Out May 1, 2009

This exhibit is designed to create a better understanding among children about the significant role trees play in the environment. A variety of inventive and interactive elements allow children to explore trees in a multi-sensory way including exploring the "heart" of a tree trunk, sitting inside a giant leaf and experiencing the light, sound, and sensation of photosynthesis and even becoming a forest creature in a "green screen" experience that allows children to fly like a bird and soar over the treetops.
