Children in general have a curious mind and so many questions. Exactly how scientists should be. Therefore, science communication must reach our kids. Kids are the future and we want a future with exciting scientific discoveries. So, it was amazing to find the work of the Grenser for unge hjerner. Christell Van Der Vyver og Shaun Peters skrev en innlegg about plants and climate change using illustrations from Mind the Graph.

Infografikken de har laget er enkel, vakker og lett å forstå.

 

Figur 2 - Plantenes indre forsvar under vannstress.

 

“Have you heard people speaking about global warming and climate change? Do you know what these terms mean? These terms basically imply that the earth is getting hotter every year. These higher temperatures lead to unexpected and unusual weather patterns. One of these extreme weather patterns is frequent and severe droughts. Droughts are very long dry periods without any rain. What do severe droughts mean for plants? Well, plants are sessileAn organism that can’t move and stays in one place, like a plant., which means they stay in one place and can’t move around like we can. They can’t pull up their roots and relocate to a shady or damp spot. Therefore, plants somehow need to deal with these ever-increasing drought conditions, or they will simply die.”

Innlegget Hvordan takler planter tørre dager? er et godt eksempel på hvordan vitenskap kan være tilgjengelig for alle. Det har jeg stor tro på, og jeg er glad for at Mind the Graph er en del av dette.
