Reduce, Reuse and Recycle… the Imagination Station way!
Toledo, Ohio – With Earth Day just around the corner, Imagination Station is celebrating Green Science by urging visitors to find new uses for old items. Green Science activities will take place April 13-21, 2013. Activities include: Soil Scientists - Sift through different types of soils and view them under a magnifying glass. This activity helps us understand why soil surveys help farmers, ranchers, highway engineers, homebuyers and many others to use the land wisely. Pop Cap Art - Don’t throw it away – make art out of it! Reusing or repurposing old material can be beautiful. This activity will have you making artwork out of plastic water bottles, bottle caps, paper and glue. Eggshell Planters - Eggshells have long been handy in gardens. The calcium they provide adds nutrients to the soil and crushed eggshells deter snails and slugs from devouring tender young sprouts. So why not continue with the useful eggshell and utilize its perfect nurturing shape by making a small planter to take home. Sort It Out - Test your sorting savvy by separating paper, glass & plastic in recycling races. Imagination Station, Toledo’s hands-on science center, is a vital non-profit organization that is an integral part of Toledo’s economic, educational and social landscape. Imagination Station provides a critical layer of science enrichment by serving as an educational partner for teachers, schools and parents. It’s with a thoughtful blend of exhibits, experiences, education and excitement that Imagination Station is inspiring future generations of scientists in Northwest Ohio. With more than 250 hands-on exhibits and demonstrations, Imagination Station delivers a multi-sensory experience that’s as fun as it is educational.
