Mission for Kids

The Best Blackberry Imaginable

Okay kids, you’ve got a real tough mission this month. You’re going to be asked to eat dozens of delicious blackberries. It’s tough work being a scientist, but hey, someone’s got to do it. I want you to discover why some blackberries taste so much better than others. Go around tasting berries from different brambles. Ask yourself: Does taste have to do with size? Color? Height on the bush? Sun or shade? Nearby plants? Take notes and see if you can find patterns where the best berries are found. Let me know what you decide by emailing naturalist@keypennews.org..
