Patch on the Planet – Summer – June: Full Bloom Gardens Through Drone’s Eye View

The Outdoor Scientist’s Backpack is a portable science lab for investigating a Patch on the Planet. It’s featured in our latest Patch on the Planet video, and you can find out more about it if you download the video’s “Stop and Chat” guide. In the full backpack I have devised, there are many more items than shown here. In this introduction, I present some key tools to give you an idea of how you can create your own Outdoor Scientist’s Backpack for your children to investigate the plants and animals around them.

This hands-on approach encourages young explorers to observe, question, and discover the natural world at their own pace – turning any outdoor space into a fascinating field study location.
