My favorite science experience is watching a tree go through each season and understanding what is happening to the tree. Each season has its own unique set of changes that we all can see. There is also a whole set of changes that occur in the tree at the cell and subcellular level that correspond to these visual changes. Making the connection between the two and understanding how we better manage our trees with this knowledge has been a very rewarding experience.
