About the Exhibit
Biosystems Engineering Information
Biosystems students will be describing what biosystems engineers do! Biosystems engineering focuses on solving problems for the good of people, animals, and the environment!
Popcorn!
Learn about how popcorn is popped from biosystems engineering students! Samples of popcorn will be given out!
Balloons! Balloons!
Ever wonder what goes into a balloon to make it float? Learn all about helium and grab yourself a balloon at the same time!
Renewable Resources
Finding replacements for petroleum-based products is a challenge that Biosystem Engineers are taking on. Learn more about how this can be addressed.
Grow a Mushroom!
Come see how to grow edible mushrooms at home!
Yeast Please!
While looking at a package of dry yeast it is hard to believe that the package has organisms in it that are alive. But add the right ingredients and presto, the mixture becomes a bubbly, oozing, mess of life! Come explore the science of yeast.
Stream Table
Play in a mini river and learn how water moves in streams.
Wetland Demo
Explore a miniature wetland and learn how wetlands improve water using water quality sensors.
