Exhibitor title- Why Are Trees Green?
abstract- Students will learn first hand the processes of photosynthesis, combustion, respiration, and the greenhouse effect. We will use a terrarium as a biosphere model in concert with a carbon dioxide sensor to measure such processes transpiring in real time. Throughout the activity, we will discuss the difference between renewable and non-renewable resources. A discussion of what resources come from forests and how they are renewed will follow. Finally, we explore how all these phenomenon affect our natural resources and visa versa. This will be a hands-on experience not to be missed for all ages. There will also be a limited supply of Loblolly Pine tree seedlings available to interested students.
Presenter- Matt Brinckman who is a M.S. Candidate in the Department of Forestry at Virginia Tech
