Plastics: an Insoluble Problem
This article looks at plastics, their uses and what happens to them once they are discarded.
Engineers use their understanding of sound waves and how they travel through their surroundings to develop highly realistic sound systems for films, music systems and computer games. The same ideas can help people with eyesight and hearing problems.
Where Have All the Skylarks Gone?
Living organisms can act as biological indicators of problems in the way we are managing our environment. Skylarks and other birds are disappearing from our farmland. How do scientists know that this has happened, why have they declined and what can be done to encourage them back?
