The Beetroot Patch

The activities, puzzles and experiments in this book will show children how people can help the planet.

Follow pigeons as they measure air pollution over London. Investigate how far the food in your cupboards actually travels. Look out for wildlife and count all the pollinators that live near you. Come up with a design for your own super green vehicle. Imagine what it would be like if you worked as a marine biologist on a coral reef. Hunt out any energy vampires lurking in your home. And discover the amazing way that plants and soil trap carbon.
