Nature’s Solar Panels: Water Lilies
In Nature’s Solar Panels: Water Lilies, Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers come upon a tree and a garden of water lilies. Join them and learn how the roots and leaves of a tree and water lily are similar, and how water lilies are like nature’s solar panels, capturing sunlight and using it for energy. This video is excerpted from BBC's Ranger Hamza’s Eco Quest, a nature exploration show in which Ranger Hamza and the Ramblers go on quests to discover nature’s wonders and the important role they play in our environment.
