Skyscraper Museum Family Program – The Architecture of Trees

July 17, 2021 @ 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

11:00 AM, OUTDOORS: STARTS AT SKYSCRAPER MUSEUM, 39 BATTERY PLACE
 
Architects can spend years designing their buildings, but trees have been perfecting their own architecture in response to their environment for eons. On a walk through Wagner Park, in Battery Park City, we will draw the trees around us to understand their likeness to skyscrapers! The structures of trees and skyscrapers have a lot in common and we will learn about how trunks and branches support their leaves or needles and how roots create strong foundations. Recommended for 2nd-5th grade.
 
This event is free to the public. Every child should be accompanied by a parent/guardian. Pre-registration required at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-architecture-of-trees-tickets-154763502803
 
Presented by The Skyscraper Museum in partnership with Battery Park City Authority
