Abstract

Eli Lilly Company provided supplies for undergraduate students to plan and deliver lessons in prairie conservation to local elementary school students. The resulting lesson and laboratory experiment focused on purple coneflower germination. Elementary school students planted mature coneflowers, grown during the course of the experiment at Eli Lilly’s local prairie restoration plot.
