Join Berry, Daisy and Spike, as an extraordinary close encounter turns a family hike into a scientific adventure of discovery. What is DNA? What are genes? Do our genes make us who we are? Find out the answers to these questions and create your own discovery story with Lizzy.
After reading the story, have a go at making a microscope, telling a new story and discovering a new species.
This workshop is recommended for children aged 4-9 years old, but family and siblings are encouraged to join in!
Show us your creations by tagging your photos #ShareYourEdge on social media.
