Sure, corn is for eating, but it's also for drinking, wearing, carrying, and driving. Visit a soft drink plant, a corn field, a farmer's market, and a racetrack as we learn how engineering, genetics, and chemistry can change corn on the cob into the hundreds of products we use every day without even knowing they're corny. Learn about non-point source pollution and how it affects our groundwater. Geology and geography come to life in a trip to Hidden River Cave and a miniature watershed experiment. Visit streams with some young water heroes and learn what you can do to protect this precious resource.
Insects fill millions of ecological niches because they are so adaptable.
Meet an entomologist who shows us how bugs have evolved, crept, crawled and survived in so many different environments. A young expert shows you how to start your own collection, too. Man cannot live by grass alone . . . Find out inside a cow's stomach where we take a microscopic look at its living contents. Explore the forestry industry and its impact on our environment.
