Botany Meetings coming Soon; Register Now!

Botanists from around the globe will meet at the 2011 BSA meetings in St. Louis. School teachers are especially encouraged to attend. Scientists get together and provide exciting opportunities for teachers to keep current in science and for them to understand research better by talking directly with the researchers.

Here's a video invitation. There's a fair amount of, "hype," in the video, but, the meetings are a great place to be.


Here's a link to the Botanical Society of America's website so you can register:

A Peaceful Video on Flowers and Fruits for science classes.

Here's a link to a video on fruits and flowers. It might be useful for starting a class on flower structure, economic botany, or science and art. I am posting it because it is beautiful and I enjoyed it. One of our readers forwarded the link. It was accessed on 10-24-09. I may add more commentary at a later date but for now have just posted it for you to enjoy. (Note: Always verify the links, in case something changes since I post them.)

Note: "Nuts," are only identified as, "nuts," rather than as a specific type of nut.
