Plankton Painting

Using high-powered microscopes and chrono-photograhy, capture photos of the trails created by these microscopic creatures with local artist and scientist Jess Holz. The program will begin with a short presentation about local plankton from the Charles River. Then, get a fascinating glimpse into their dynamic forms and behavior on the big screen, and watch helical paths of flagellates and the water currents generated by rotifers as they feed.

Please note that though this workshop is open to all ages, it is geared for ages 13 and up. Space and materials are limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
