Program Description

Event Details

Delve into the fascinating world of plants and discover how seeds travel to new places. 

Join one of the Montana Natural History Center's Traveling Naturalists at the Bitterroot Public Library to experiment, observe, and unravel the secrets behind various seed dispersal mechanisms, from wind-blown marvels to hitchhiking hitchhikers.

You'll get to design, create, and show off your engineered fruit and share how your contraption met its goal - to disperse and grow a plant! 

This activity cultivates critical thinking and problem-solving skills while fostering a deeper appreciation for nature. Get ready to sow the seeds of curiosity and grow a love for STEAM!

Ages 5 & up.
