Learning station topics cover information about the parts and lifecycles of plants, the importance of cottonwood galleries, how seeds are spread, using a low-power microscope to look at plant parts, and what poison ivy really looks like in this area. Also includes a relay race activity, and the Sun, Soil, Water and Air game.
