Family Adventures: ‘Focusing on Nature’

You can’t really see plants grow, but you can capture the experience through a technique like time-lapse photography. This program at the Everett Children’s Adventure Garden, part of the New York Botanical Garden, explores how cameras and other technology have influenced humans’ observations of the natural world. Activities will include observing and recording flowering patterns; potting sunflowers (and learning how to make a time-lapse video of one developing); and investigating early devices like the camera obscura.
