Contact: Leslianne Costello 508-286-2696 lcostello@sailsinc.org

How do trees get water and nutrients all the way from the roots to the treetop? Learn about cohesion, adhesion, and surface tension and how these concepts relate to trees. Students will be challenged to build a structure taller than themselves! This 1.5 hour program is for students approximately ages 9-12, and is presented by the staff of the Mass Audubon Oak Knoll Wildlife Sanctuary.

This event is sponsored by the Friends of the Norton Library.
Registration is required as space is limited.
Sign-up sheets will be available in the front of the library 2 weeks prior to the event.
Library staff cannot take registrations by phone or email.
Location: Community Room
