Plant Pest Investigation
Follow Lily and Sam on a scientific investigation to find the reason behind Sam's sick plant. Helped by Dr Wheaten, their investigation takes them through memories of their overseas holiday, a trip to their grandparents' farm and a visit to real science laboratory.
During their investigation, they learn about the importance of protecting Australia's crops from pests and diseases. Plant Pest Investigation is a big book written for children aged 5 - 8 to raise awareness of plant biosecurity issues.
The big book is an educational tool and was launched on Thursday 6 November by Dr Jim Peacock, Australia's former Chief Scientist.
Teachers' notes and supporting classroom activities will be made available online shortly.
