Hi Gardeners!
We know we need soil to grow our food.
But where does soil come from?
This week, we'll be reading "Pumpkin Circle" by George Levenson and start exploring our soil.
The process by which organic material breaks down into soil is called DECOMPOSITION.
It's the cycle of life and it's all around us, all the time!
Who are the critters that help with decomposition?
It's our friends, the FBI:
Fungus
Bacteria
Invertebrates:
Activity: Let a small piece of food rot.
Check it every day.
What happens to it over time?
Record it by drawing or taking a picture!
Where else have you seen examples of decomposition?
