From slime molds to Sequoias, we'll take a look at plants and their importance to man and the Earth. Using microscopes to visually dissect the smallest members of the plant kingdom as well as other instruments we will explore the living plant life around us. We will scientifically explore the economic and environmental importance of plants, big and small, to the survival of human and animal life on our planet.
