From Bulbs To Flowers, Elizabeth Vazquez
From Bulbs To Flowers, Elizabeth Vazquez
Graduate Student Independent Studies
In this thesis, I first developed the notion of a bulb as a means of introducing science to young children (ages five to eight).
First, bulb experiments were implemented. After a literature search, it was discovered that few books introduce scientific concepts with a storyline for young children. Therefore, I developed such a book in the process of writing the thesis. Lesson plans on bulbs for teachers were also developed and can be used in conjunction with the book or independently.

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Extension: Historical Materials
Autumn freeze probabilities based on 47 years of data are examined for 48 locations in Nebraska.
The potential of an early autumn freeze is of great concern to farmers, gardeners, and other plant growers. A climatological analysis of autumn freeze events across Nebraska can provide a measure of the risk involved with planting different hybrids, varieties and cultivars.
