Celebrate National Science Week and this year’s theme, "Seeds of Science: Nurturing knowledge for all." Just as scientific ideas take root to change the world, we are engineering sustainable paper that grows to heal the local environment.
In this hands-on workshop, you will explore green material science by turning recycled paper pulp into custom, seed-infused cardstock. You will learn how cellulose fibers bond and discover the biological triggers that cause dormant seeds to germinate when planted.
Once your card is ready, the science continues outside the lab. You can:
Leave Your Mark: Plant your paper in the school's science garden to create a campus pollinator patch.
Home Experiment: Take it home to gift, plant, and track its growth in your own backyard.
