Exploring Growth and Self-Recycling with Corn!
At the Corn Booth, you’ll discover how corn plants grow and “recycle” themselves as they develop. Explore the life cycle of this incredible plant, learn how low nutrition affects its growth, how corn cells are organized, and about their natural repair processes.
But that’s not all . . . grab a jar with colorful glass-gem Indian corn kernels for planting at home and some yummy popcorn while you're here! It’s science, snacks, and fun all in one place!
