In this book, you and your children will discover the amazing wonders of nature through simple experiments. What's the science behind the Lotus effect? Find out using kohlrabi leaves. Feeding carnivorous plants with gummy bears? Yes, it works! But why? Determine the air quality of your surroundings, a park, or a forest with a homemade lichen grid. Quickly, you'll become an expert on the wonderful and useful lichens. Invisible microorganisms of a lake become visibly teeming life with a laser pointer - all without a microscope!

This book is the perfect companion for hikes and holiday travels - bringing you closer to nature. Featuring numerous color photos, many descriptive graphics, and 14 spectacular videos.
