Kids will transform old soda and water bottles into Self-Watering Jellyfish Planters. It’s a lesson in biology and engineering as they build a functional "wicking"system to keep a real plant alive.

Each session includes: Literacy Connections: Daily storytime to build empathy for animals and the planet.
