      A type of farm or food factory that could grow nutritious and delicious food without destroying natural habitat or using up all the water or creating so much pollution. Farming is the biggest reason for habitat loss which is the main cause of the mass extinction event we have started.

      Hi @Professor haley!

      Good question!
      My favourite experiments at school were the ones where you got to find out how things work. For example, we got to burn different chemicals (safely!) to answer what makes fireworks different colours. That was really fun!

      Iā€™d like to learn how to use a 3D printer. Have you heard of them? You can now use really cool computers to make real things! Instead of printing on a piece of paper, you can make a printer print something really useful, usually out of plastic. It has become a really exciting part of science, and there are lots of things that you can make. I think by the time that you are the same age as me we will be able to make just about anything!

      Hi @Professor haley! I think I would join Sophie in her quest to invent a way of farming that doesn’t destroy the natural environment and create so much waste! I would love to invent more ways of farming animals that is fair to them and produces safe food for us to eat at the same time.

      Hello,

      I would definitely invent a teleportation machine. This would be so cool – I could travel the world in an instant, or simply get out of bed later in the morning instead of taking a lot of effort to get to work.

      What about you? What invention would you create?
