Summary
Discover the fascinating plant biology and science behind how maple trees produce sweet, sticky syrup. Join Dr. Owl, Emma, and Ziggy the Robot as they brave a freezing spring forest to investigate how trees store sugar from photosynthesis and use freeze-thaw cycles to push out watery sap. You will also find out exactly how much sap needs to be boiled down just to get enough syrup for Ziggy's giant stack of pancakes!
