Dive beneath the waves in Undersea Explorers, the thrilling ocean-themed edition of Whizz Pop Bang.

Journey into the dark depths of the deep sea to discover how humans explore this alien underwater world. Meet weird and wonderful creatures, from deep-sea fish to ancient sharks that can live for hundreds of years. Uncover how powerful ocean predators are perfectly adapted to life in the water. Find out how scuba gear allows divers to breathe underwater, then investigate the effects of pressure with a hands-on experiment. Recreate the layers of the ocean in a jar to see how light, temperature and pressure change with depth.

There’s plenty to make and do – craft a marine mobile and impress your friends with a watery optical illusion. Grow saved tomato seeds in upcycled pots.
