They take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we need to breathe. This innovative book lets readers learn all about plants in a hands-on way with cool experiments they can do in their own backyards and homes. Step-by-step instructions and full-color photographs ensure that each activity is easy to follow. Handy What's Happening sidebars explain the scientific principles behind each experiment, helping readers grasp abstract concepts
