The College of Science and Mathematics and the Department of Biology at Valdosta State University are presenting Science Saturday: Tree of Life, an educational event that will take place on April 13 from 9 a.m. to noon in the Hugh C. Bailey Science Center.
Community members of all ages are invited to explore the scientific study of life through various topics such as lizards, snakes, frog acoustics, seahorse fossils, and plant pigment chromatography. Activities include a species scavenger hunt, interacting with betta fish, and exploring if plants feel stress.
Science Saturday is part of VSU’s STEM Initiative, which aims to inspire the next generation to learn more about science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Faculty within the College of Science and Mathematics recognize the importance of student success in STEM fields for the nation’s future economic prosperity.
The event is free and open to the public, with parking available in various lots around Main Campus. No VSU parking permit is required for this event. Science Saturday: Tree of Life is the final event in the spring calendar, with activities set to resume in the fall.
