C'est pas sorcier -BAMBOU

The official channel of the France 3 program. It's Not Rocket Science, the science and discovery magazine. Bamboo is as hard as wood and can reach up to 25 meters in height. Yet, it has little in common with trees: it's actually a grass! A colossal grass that grows at an astonishing rate and multiplies at a disconcerting speed. Fred, Jamy, and Sabine traveled to the south of France to discover the largest bamboo grove in Europe. They explain the fascinating biology of this versatile plant, which feeds humans and pandas alike and is used for everything from writing to building houses from floor to ceiling.
