2026 NAAE Convention

Have you ever received flowers? How did they make you feel!? This workshop examines the impact that floral arrangements can have on people. Combine creativity with science in this unique workshop where you will learn to integrate floral design and plant repotting as the foundation for authentic scientific investigation. You will practice building bud vases, then discover how to guide students through hypothesis development and emotional response data collection. This innovative, inquiry-based approach integrates hands-on horticulture skills with the scientific method, data collection and analysis, and social media presentation. Perfect for educators seeking meaningful, interdisciplinary projects that connect technical skills with inquiry-based learning. There is 'Power in the Flower', and your students will be able to collect the data to prove it!
