Next on the NSDL/NSTA Web Seminar Series: Flower Bulb Science: 
Activities for the Hands-on Classroom

Please join us Thursday, February 7th, 6:30-8:30 pm Eastern, for a free 
online seminar with our experts from the Cornell University Department 
of Horticulture: Marcia Eames-Sheavly of the Garden-Based Learning 
Program and Craig Cramer Communications Specialist, with special guest 
and site developer Elly Cramer from the National Science Digital Library.

There’s nothing like a pot of tulips in the middle of winter to inspire 
young scientists. This new website from the Cornell University 
Department of Horticulture will help you find ways to use flower bulbs 
to teach science, art, history and other subjects for students of all 
ages. Help your students learn how to ‘force’ bulbs out of season, 
experiment with ways of controlling how tall the plants grow, create a 
digital collage or spell out hidden messages on your lawn. This 
interactive website (http://www.thebulbproject.com) also helps you share 
ideas for new activities and adaptations, and learn from the experiences 
of others. For educators of grades K-12. Great for afterschool programs!

Registration is free through the NSTA Learning Center:
