Thanks for writing out the list, I'm definitely going to put these things together to liven up trips to the outdoors.

Thankyou for the great idea. Getting outdoors is my biggest struggle with the wet weather we seem to have had for so long and when it's hot it's too hot ! This has been an inspiring read and although Kew is a unique place to explore we can take for granted so many great parks and open spaces, which, local councils work so hard to maintain for our use.

Thanks for sharing this! Would love to setup some backpacks like this for my kids. I’m wondering what to call them… science backpacks? Explorer bags? Hmm. I do like the idea of associating the term “science” with this outdoor activity amongst other things.

The backpacks are such a great idea! This gets at the core of what science used to be, and ultimately still is, all about - observation. Taking a closer look and asking questions, finding patterns and making connections. Thanks for sharing!
