Donaldsonville

Meeting Room

Explore ecosystems through hands-on STEM fun: explore the food pyramid, test photosynthesis with leaf disks, and create a mini ecosystem in a bottle! Registration required.

Participants will explore how living and non-living things interact to maintain balance in nature. We’ll investigate the food pyramid to understand how energy flows through an ecosystem, experiment with floating leaf disks to observe photosynthesis in action and create a mini ecosystem in a bottle to observe how plants and their environment interact over time. Through engaging activities and guided discussion, attendees will discover the important connections that help all living things survive and thrive. Call (225) 473-8052 to save your spot.
