Dr. Graeme R.A. Wyllie, a chemistry professor at Concordia College in Moorhead, visited with science students at Henning School on Friday. Dr. Wyllie walked students through several hands-on experiments focused on creating bioplastics while learning how these sustainable materials can make a positive impact on our environment.
