In the companion Root Vegetable Video Lesson found in the No Sweat Nature Study LIVE membership, you'll "dig deeper" into the topic of root vegetables as you learn more about true root veggies, tubers, and rhizomes while creating a cross-section underground diagram in your nature journal. You'll be challenged to complete a couple of cool (and easy) science experiments with root vegetables, too!
