The museum's education team was inside the museum's Uncovering Virginia exhibit near the Grundy display to conduct today's Virtual Homeschool Science & Engineering Academy program, "Botany: Plant Basics"!

In these pictures, Educator Kayla Lacy is showing a watershed map to discuss the role plants play in preventing soil erosion. Educator Terri Robertson (white t-shirt) is showing various seeds and how they are dispersed. VMNH Education Manager Christy Deatherage is showing a cross section of a tree, while talking about the movement of nutrients through plants.

The Homeschool Science & Engineering Academy provides engaging science and engineering programs for homeschool students on the first and third Wednesday of each month throughout the school year. Due to the current health situation, this year's programming is being provided virtually.
